Cyrillic font problems with OS X

[Lynne deBenedette]

Other ways to indicate word stress for language course materials:
-change the color of the stressed vowel
-boldface the stressed vowel
-underline the stressed vowel

All the above methods have the advantage that they work in a web environment as well.  Given that a lot of my materials now wind up being disseminated to students via a course webpage, and that html and stress marks do not make friends easily, I've found the above solutions helpful. If you choose to do something like this, you do need to notify students at the start of the semester how stresses will be indicated.

And as a Mac OSX user I've found it much simpler to switch to Apple Cyrillic fonts than work with Linguist's Software.
