How to setup Win95 Netscape to use KOI8-R fonts

Netscape client must put acceptable charset (KOI8-R assumed) via Accept-Charset header field when interact with HTTPD, but not do it currently.

Frank Tang from the Netscape Team tell me about their plans of implementing Accept-Charset field into after-3.0 releases, but it seems they forget it, if you'll ask them too, it can be faster.

How to make your fixed KOI8-R font visible from Fonts menu (for programmers only)

You need to fix font header via any .TTF font editor (f.e. Font Monster): change Proportion from Any to Monospaced (fixed-pitch flag CF_FIXEDPITCHONLY from the CHOOSEFONT structure) and change Family Type from Decorative to Text/Display, if neccessary.
