I have russian Times New Romand and Arial fonts installed:

the topics pane displays russian correctly.

Unfortunately, in contents pane html help engine replaces my
russian font for (probably) MS Sans Serif font and russian characters does not display.

It is interesting that inside HMTL help workshop IDE if I change contents pane font script to russian, contents is displayed correctly.

If I close my project and re-open it, a garbage is displayed.
After that, if I only change the font size, correct russian
letters will appear. They are lost again if I close help project file.

In a compiled chm file contents pane russian characters are
nevert displayed in all cases.
Why ?

Why ?
