Are you using TrueType fonts?  If so, they should have survived the
transition to Word(9)7 intact.  My own TT Cyrillic fonts work very well
(although I had to turn off the "smart quotes" feature because the font
uses the " character to represent zh).

If all else fails, you could send a blank (IBM-formatted) diskette to me
and I'll mail you a copy of my font.  You can reach me at: Dr. John

Williams Hall #745 /36th and Spruce St. / Phila. PA 19102.
