Comment(by Moskosos):

 Okay, I set Preferences -> Conversations -> Font to Arial on both
 machines, but nothing changes.

 Notes:

 1) Messages from WinXP->Win2k and from Win2k->WinXP, are displayed as
 squares.

 2) In text logs everything is fine (but I have not checked HTML logs)

 3) Squares looks like a russian text (Theese are squares with numbers
 0400-0450 inside)

 4) Default font 'Sans' in Preferences -> Conversations -> Font does have
 squares with numbers instead of cyrillic letters (in font selection
 dialog)

 For now, I have found a workaround: disabling 'Show formatting on incoming
 messages' solves this issue.
