Writing lyrics in russian or ukrainian

Good evening from the eastern side of the North Sea (Norway), I have been attempting to write some of the ukrainian and russian folkmusic whcih I know and sing in Noteworthy, but it seems completely impossible to change to a cyrilic based alphabet.  I have tried every option that I know of, but can only get a line of question marks when what I have written in the lyrics section is OK'd.  I use both of these languages on my PC with word and other systems, and can change languages easily.  Mixing words both in cyrilic and western fonts is not a problem either.  Can anyone inform me on the correct procedure please to be able to add cycrilic lyrics to a NWC songfile?

Short answer seems to be that it can only be done via post-processing the EMF files.

It is a problem in NWC2. Only one font can be chosen as the Lyric Font and the choice applies to the entire song.

You might get lucky with one of these: http://www.slovo.info/eurocp.htm
Sorry, but I don't know enough about cyrillic to test them.
