Thank you Hans!

I did not find the tfm files anywhere on the Internet (strange), so I
generated them myself. Now it works very well. I put a description of
how I did, and some comments on what encoding that worked (windows
1251), and what encodings that did not (KOI8R, KOI8-R, ISO-8859-5),
and a small test file at

Hope this helps any other users in the future.

And please feel free to tell me if there are better solutions.
