To use smooth text, you would need a truetype font that has cyrillic
characters and pick that.

You can also turn off smooth graphics and pick the default font, that
should work.

Unfortunately, there are a few places in Nautilus where smooth text is
hard coded on, and so you lose.

There is more than one way to fix the current font problems that
Nautilus has, especially regarding i18n.  I think that given the current
resource constraints of the Nautilus team, the best thing to do is wait
for Gtk+ 2.0 when i18n support should be better.

If you (or anyone else) is interested in making workarounds for the
current problems, I would be happy to help, but I personally would
rather spend time making Nautilus work with Gtk+ 2.0 instead.
