I mean maybe somebody know how to find needed DLL for Russian font or how to on it?
It's just LCD, soft must support other language fonts.

Re: Russian font on hd44780
The HD44780 has a fixed font set in ROM which can't be changed. It does have 8 user definable characters as well.
Table 4 on page 17 of the spec (which you can find at: https://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/LCD/HD44780.pdf ) shows the characters available (use the $Chr() function in Smartie to display any non-standard characters)
If you want to define the user definable characters you should use a website like: http://www.quinapalus.com/hd44780udg.html to work out the codes then the $CustomChar() function in smartie. You'll find instructions on how to do this at: http://lcdsmartie.sourceforge.net/.
It's a bit of a hack and restrictive but might work depending on what you want to display.
