In what os ? Amigaos has some limitations couldnt fully recall
But os3 is even more limited i think must be the os native languange to support it ( ime if you have english/spanish os moat peobably is very difficult..)

Win/linux/android is off ourse "better" as they are native fully utf oses

This is normal. Cirilico is not a real Cyrillic font, it has the Cyrillic characters in the positions of the Latin letters. Use a real Cyrillic font, then it will work.

It is a real font, because the graphic design program shows the word well, the name is because I changed it to use with Hollywood.

No, it isn't. Look at the table here (scroll down). At the position of the character D there is a Д. Therefore, in your word PERDEDOR your script shows no D characters, but Д and the other Cyrillic characters.
Test your script with a font such as Open Sans, which contains the Cyrillic characters in the correct positions.

Thank you for your help, I'll test with the Open Sans font.

Thank you so much, I tested this Open Sans font and it is a great discover to resolve problems with other languages, now it shows the russian words perfectly, even is possible show Polish words too peferctly. Thank you.
