I you want to change fonts for http://www.rada.kiev.ua/laws/pravo/all/zak1.htm, 
choose microsoft-cp1251 in "encoding listbox" and set font names again. 
You should set the font names for each encoding you are using (at least change 
fonts for iso-8859-1, koi8-u, koi8-r, microsoft-cp1251).

Look for microsoft-cp1251 .
