When I view source, the
garbled Cyrillic is really all encoded entities like this (mixed with
Latin accented characters): ńęÓă in a page that is
rendering as charset=iso-8859-1.
Those entities are not Cyrillic though.
I suspect that someone wrote the page in Cyrillic 8859-5 and then
uploaded it to a host that only serves 8859-1 and it all got munged
to hell.
Can you try some other encodings in firefox (Windows Latin 2 maybe,
or maybe even KOI8-R) and see if something renders the page
correctly. If it does, then copy and paste the page contents.
FF has an ISO-8859-5 Charset Setting so that can be tried to see if
it comes out. The problem is that if it WERE ISO-8859-1 all the codes
would still be in the x00-xFF range. Even if it were originally
ISO-8859-5, something mangled it since just serving it as ISO-8859-1
would just use those glyphs for the Cyrillic Glyphs.
What does the server claim is the encoding (this is different than
what the HTML page claims is the encoding)?
