There was a time when we learned Russian in schools. If it doesn't bother you 
to upload the document somewhere, I can look through it and try to help. You 
can saend me a link to it in a personal message. I'd be glad to tell me exact 
places where you have problems, at least few of them.

  Its actually the reading portion of a Russian course. The majority of the 
document is in Russian.

    What language are the carakters? We use the ciryllic alphabet here, so 
maybe I can help.

      Hello.

      I am experiencing great difficulty with a pdf document with Cyrillic 
characters, in that the characters are not displaying correctly. In there 
place, I'm just seeing random Latin letters (sometimes accented), together with 
other unknown typographical characters. Oddly enough however, the guide to the 
Cyrillic alphabet which proceeds the main lessons displays as it should.

      I've contacted the company, and today they sent me a replacement document 
which displays exactly the same. Therefore I'm beginning to suspect its 
something with my system (either font-related, or somehow the plug-in which 
detects Assistive technology is interfering with the document (if that's 
possible). I'd be very surprised if that is the case, however ICT scenarios 
have never failed to amaze me yet!

      I'm thinking of trying the document on another system without a Screen 
Reader or getting someone to inspect it on my current machine with JFW 
unloaded, however so far the opportunity hasn't presented itself.

      I'm on Vista, with the latest version of Adobe Reader, and JFW 13 with 
all updates applied.

      AS far as I can make out, all necessary support is installed with Vista 
to cater for Cyrillic script.

      Any help/suggestions appreciated.

      Mark
