Добрый день,

К сожалению, действительно очень мало google fonts поддерживают кирилицу. Вы можете переключить subset в Design >> Font >> Font Options >> Subset. Посавьте там Cyrillic. В целом, можете найти, какие шрифты поддерживают кирилицу на сайте
https://www.google.com/fonts

Выберете Cyrillic в Script.

Sincerely,
Hella

Cool info about fonts! If you’re looking for recommendations, definitely check out Nunito – it looks awesome for both Latin and Cyrillic characters.

When you’re building multilingual sites, it's super important to think about more than just fonts. I recently got into this with a startup, and I hit some bumps along the way. I found this awesome partner for development at https://andersenlab.com/services/custom-software-development/startup-software-development-company, and they really helped me out with font optimization and localization. I loved how they tackled Cyrillic support in different browsers.

They pointed me to https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/topic/language-font-issue/, where I discovered that to use Google fonts with Russian support, you need to add this in your css:

body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
}

You can also create a selector in the theme settings so users can pick different fonts for different languages. It’ll need a bit of tweaking in the theme code, but it’ll make multilingual sites way more user-friendly.
