Dear Colleagues:
Thanks to Tom Dolack of Wheaton College for his suggestion, which worked for me. I share it in the hope that it will be a helpful strategy for you, too.
Sincerely,
Ben Rifkin

Dear Dr. Rifkin,
I don't know that this will help at all, but in my experience the best
way of converting fonts is using HTML. If you can turn the page into a
web page and then copy from the web page into your word processor, that
might work.
I've done this in the past with success, but it also hasn't worked, so
no guarantees.
Best of luck with it,
Tom Dolack

I would appreciate any suggestion as to how to "translate" texts in old Macintosh Russian fonts (Norwich US, CyrillicBoldNuTranslit) into Unicode compliant fonts in order to rescue these files.
