It depends mostly on whether the appropriate fonts are installed on your machine. IE4-5 under Win95/NT works fine with UTF-8 if you have the appropriate charset (204) in your fonts; normally, Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier New contain the charset 204, and all other do not. In the same environment, you may also try windows-1251 as the charset name. If you are under Unix, try either koi8-r (sometimes spelled as koi8r, without dash) or iso-8859-5; chances are that you have at least one of the two. Another problem is whether your XSLT processor is able to handle any of these. I admire XT but it still lacks support for anything but UTF-8 in the output; SAXON is much more foreigner-friendly ;-). Please note that UTF-8/Unicode, windows-1251, koi8-r and iso-8859-5 are all mutually incompatible. If you were about to publish Cyrillic texts in Russian over the Internet, I would recommend using koi8-r. Bulgarian uses the same repertory of glyphs, but I don't know which is the preferred charset; they could also have a fifth version ;-).
