Accented Russian Fonts

[Robert Orr]

The WordPerfect charcater sets include Cyrillic vowels with both acute and
grave accents, and if your printer supports them, you should have no trouble
(although the instructions for setting up a keyboard are slightly
obscurantist!)

Internet Explorer apparently suppports downloadable fonts, but the downside
is that the page will only be viewable in MSIE, and you will also have to
resolve issues of copyright. Unicode won't cut it either, it does not
include accented vowels for Cyrillic. I suggest either bolding accented
vowels or putting stress accents in front of them.
