Excel 2008 won't open older files with Russian encoding correctly

I get Excel 97-2004 files from accountants with Russian fonts in them. Excel 2008 will not show those fonts correctly.

Office 2007 under Windows opens those files correctly no problem.

The only way around it is opening the file under Windows, saving it as XLSX and then working with it on my Mac, which is a pain.

Would you be able to send me a file that you're having this issue with? We'd
love to investigate.

Thanks,
