The problem is that HTML Help does not support Unicode, only Code Page mappings. So Mif2Go (which you also have) handles this correctly, and maps any Unicode Cyrillic to the correct CP 1251. This affects the TOC, Index, and Search. It appears not to affect the topic pane, because that uses IE for display which *does* allow Unicode. But that's an illusion. ;-) You'll need the most recent versions of Mif2Go files on the Web, including the Beta components on the private download page. You should also download the ICU library from there; we use it to convert FM8/9 Unicode back to the code page. This also applies to Greek, Czech, and Asian languages. HTH! -- Jeremy H.
