Cyrillic fonts

After the introduction of Unicode, it would be 
unwise to continue with old non-standard fonts if 
you want to exchange files with others (including 
having your work published). Mac OS X comes with 
one Unicode font, Lucida Grande, and others can 
be downloaded from the net or bought. 
Unfortunately,  Microsoft Word has far from full 
support for Unicode, so it would be better to use 
a word processor like Mellel or Nisus, or even 
TextEdit for texts with little formatting in the 
form of tables etc.

If you have used a "student" keyboard layout for 
standard fonts like Times CY under OS 8-9, these 
can still be used under OS X. Search the SEELANGS 
archives for "Unicode" and my e-mail to find 
detailed instructions.
