MS Excel 4.0 document with Cyrillic text
When I open the old MS Excel 4.0 documents with cyrillic text in Libreoffice ,
they opened with incorrect encoding (became unreadable).
Example is attached. All my Excel documents contain two fonts:
1. Латинский (\x8b\xe0\xf2\xe8\xed\xf1\xea\xe8\xe9) and
2. Прямой Проп (8FF0DFECEEE9208FF0EEEF)
1st font is Serif (like Times)
2nd font is Sans Serif (like Arial)
Right inside the binary document I changed the 1st font name to
"Times CYR" and 2nd font name to "Arial CYR" (to preserve the length) but it
did not work (opened unreadable again).
Utilities from https://sourceforge.net/p/libmwaw/wiki/Home/ did not help
either.

I tried to understand here
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/office_file_formats/ms-xls/cd03cb5f-ca02-4934-a391-bb674cb8aa06)
what should I change inside Excel document, but its too complicated.
Is that possible to fix libreoffice calc filter to correctly import old excel
documents with at least fonts listed above?
