Application of old style fonts.

In prefious version I used old cyrillic TTF without any problem, but in mew version though it is prsented in the list of fonts, it takes no effect being applied. It is a big problem for me as now I'm not able to write vocal text. Actually it makes impossible to use Musescore for making up chorus scores. Canthis problem be solved or I have to use old versions of Musescore?
