I'm not sure about W98, since I use Netscape 4.7 under Linux: from the top
level menu "View" I choose "Character Set" and can select from about 20
different ways to interpret text (byte streams).  ISO-8859-1 is the standard
coding for me, and KOI8-R is one of 4 choices for Cyrillic.  "Windows 1251"
is another choice there, so that may be a better choice for your text.

I would expect other browsers to offer something similar.
Explicit installation of fonts should not be necessary, here, since
modern systems tend to have pre-installed the most common ones, which
the browser would find at the standard place for fonts.
