Cyrillic Fonts for Mac that can be accented

[John Dunn]

Just for the record the method described below does indeed work in Word (either that or I have been hallucinating for the last two years).  It saves time if you copy the 'combining acute accent' into a section of the character palette called 'favorites'.  I leave this section permanently open but parked on amber in the 'dock'.

John Dunn.

P.S. Non-Mac-users can have an English translation of the above supplied for a moderate fee.
