I see this with linux trunk build 2000110708.

Should this be in I18N?

This is still there.
What's related sidebar always has WESTERN fonts,
so Russian titles are unreadable.

I had the same problem with the Asturian langpack, the accentuated characters are 
displayed as question marks. However, I think the problem is because there are 
different panels.rdf files (under default profile, under profile, under locale 
ast-AS), too many I think! I was playing with them, and I changed one of them 
(I'll try to reproduce it), but the characters were displayed correctly. So, I 
think that there is some redundancy in the panels.rdf files, and some of them 
specify a character coding, and others other. Can be related to the fact that 
there is no separation yet between language and contents packs?

Reopening, since in 2001093008 sidebar still shows Russian letters with Latin
encodig, i.e. unreadable.

This page is coming from the alexa server.  This is a normal iframe that is has 
a webpage with in it.  

http://xslt.alexa.com/data?cli=17&dat=nsacdt=t%3D0%26pane%3Dnswr6%26wid%3D5619&
url=http://www.urc.ac.ru

Load this in the content window and you get the same results.
Do you have the language pack? International issue.

Mikhail: matt's URL 
http://xslt.alexa.com/data?cli=17&dat=nsacdt=t%3D0%26pane%3Dnswr6%26wid%3D5619&url=http://www.urc.ac.ru
is "charset=iso-8859-1".  Change the Meta Charset to Cryllic should
fix your problem.  

Mozilla is working as designed.
