Dear Vratislav Richard,
Japanese, Russian, etc. fonts aren't very useful for designing web
sites. Mostly, they appear as senseless characters on the user's
screen. The best thing you could do is to design them as PDF-File which
can be viewed within the Web-Browser if you have the Acrobat Reader
installed as Plug-In. Add the english transcription or
better translation into your HTML-formatted listing of publications, to
be sure, that more people get to know the title of them.
Cheers,
Thorsten
