The "main" Russian site about FOP and Russian language is down now... so I could not read HOWTO and FAQ. Google stores copy of main page from which I' ve got that probably there is more "easy" solution...

Not yet... FAQ's that I've already read proposed to patch FOP source code... and I really have no time for this now... I've broken (and still brokening) all (un)possible terms with FlameRobin development...
