Russian handwriting in US classrooms in the computer age/ Q about downloading a Russian font on a PC

[oothappam]

oh!--I didn't mean that. The CD says that,  but it hasn't  got any actual real  Windows stuff..it only changes settings enough to set up that toggle thing in the taskbar so you can switch from English to Russian letters. The guy selling this is making a killing.It cost about $15.00 and with the name "Russian support for Windows" sounds impressive. It's a good deal for lazybones like me who hate muddling around with their computers but one can do the same setup in a few minutes if they understand the directions well.
Sorry I did not explain it better!

>Nola, You're talking about something very different and much more complex: You've installed a Russian operating system so that it's possible, if you push the right buttons, to get drop-down menus, help, file info, etc in Russian. I suppose that's useful. But we're talking here about something much simpler and more needful: Kак печатать по-русски? No need for installing Windows support to do that...

>I got tired of going through all that with  different computers so just gave up and bought a CD that has "Windows Russian Support"  on it. I found it on ebay. Perhaps if one person in the department gets that, they can share it and install on student's PCs if they request it.I used it for Windows 98 and Wiindows 7 and it's worked on both OS's.
>The CD is actually a set. One installs all the settings to get Russian set up and the other installs a set of Russian fonts. All you need after that is a set of stickers for the keys and you're set.
>I found the stickers very cheap on ebay too.

>>Dear Michael,

>>I have a student who owns a PC, and, when he tried to follow directions on the AATSEEL website about downloading a Russian font, he didn't succeed.Can you suggest something in addition to those instructions?  I am a Mac user, so I couldn't help him.Many thanks,Olga Zaslavsky, PhD
