Can you post more of the markup page, with the <defs> and the <timing> section?

A few other things:
- Check if the subtitle is even being loaded, eg by doing something like http://blogs.msdn.com/ptorr/archive/2007/02/01/red-box-debugging.aspx
- Check if the Cyrillic text works inside a normal application (not subtitle)
- Check that the font complies with the HD DVD Specifications
- Check the playlist is selecting the correct track

The re-distributable founds included in the jumpstart kit provide a very limited character set Should you need additional characters you will need to use a font that has the characters you need and which you have the rights to re-distribute ... this means purchasing a font or creating one of your own.
