Hello Hermann,
thanks for your quick reply.
I didn't do any setting up in Ubuntu, but I know Russian (and Hebrew) 
show correctly on screen.
 From what you tell me, though, I understand I can't read mixed texts 
like, for instance, a Russian-English dictionary, or a grammar book, 
where I have part of a line in one language and another in the other.
Am I correct?
Take care,
Ollie
