Mac OS 10.6 and Russian

[Judson Rosengrant]

Dear Prof. Rifkin,

You shouldn't have installed anything.  The keyboards and drivers (dozens of
languages) are already built into OS 10.6.  Русская кириллица, как и другие
алфавитные варианты, должна получаться без всякой проблемы--как вы
видите: via MS Entourage, in this case.

I've chosen the transliterated version of Russian Cyrillic from the 'Open
Language and Text' pull-down menu (click on the flag), but you can use a
standard Russian keyboard instead just by selecting the appropriate box in
the same place. 

Safari should work for you too, just as it does for me when I wish to type
a web address in Cyrillic.  Although I do find that it will read the native
website Cyrillic more reliably if I set up the default encoder as 'Unicode
(UTF-8)'.  For that, just go to Safari preferences and select 'Appearance'.

I hope this helps.  If it doesn't, give me a call and I'll walk you through
it.  But it shouldn't be difficult.  It's really a beautifully designed
system.  All you have to do is trust it.

Best wishes,

J. Rosengrant
