To post a comment you must log in.
The reason is improperly encoding of file /usr/share/ru.typ. It uses KOI8-R.
You can recode the file with iconv to UTF-8 or run English version of interface (LANG=C gtypist).
I think developers need to correct the program to better support different character sets. And, as a minimum, include in the package file in the correct encoding, since Ubuntu uses UTF-8 by default.
