Q: Fonts of Pages

Have you already gone to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and used the plus and add buttons to activate a Russian keyboard?  If not, do that, and then select Russian in the “flag” menu at the top right of the screen.  This is required for you to type Russian with any font.

The Didot font supplied by Apple does not include Cyrillic characters, but there are lots of other fonts that do have them.  If you want Didot with cyrillic you will have to look for it yourself on the internet and download and install it.

Fonts are managed by the OSX System and are held in:

yourusername/Library/Fonts

where "yourusername" is whatever you call yourself on your Mac, and has the little House icon.

You can open and turn off fonts with Font Book, which also can tell you what the font is and show all the letters within the font.

PS As Tom says the Didot in the System covers: Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Hawaiian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Kalaallisut, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Maltese, Manx, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Oromo, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Swiss German, Turkish, Zulu and not Cyrilic.

Parachute Fonts makes many Cyrillic fonts but not one specifically called Didot.

Paratype makes many Cyrillic fonts including several versions of Didot.

Make sure you get the Opentype versions.

I think the font you have in red is Didot Bold, which apparently does have cyrlllic even though Didot Regular does not.

none of the types Didot has not Cyrillic version, including Bold.

 

That is not correct.  You can see it for yourself by typing Russian with the font set to Didot Bold or by looking at Didot Bold in Font Book > View > Repertoire.

So did you finally get the answer you needed?  Is your Didot Bold the same as mine?  It is definitely very strange for the Bold version of a font to have a different character repertoire than the Regular....
