Cyrillic TT Fonts for the Macintosh

[Max Pyziur]

Greetings to all.

Time for yet another announcement in a series of too many dealing
with yet another upload to the Central & East European Server located
at the Ohio Supercomputer Center, also known as infomeister.osc.edu.
This time it's Cyrillic TrueType fonts for the Macintosh.  These
wonderful treats originally for Windows are courtesy of their
originator -- Gavin Helf -- and their convertors/migrators to the
Macintosh -- Zenon Feszczak and L. Jake Jacobson.

The fonts give you four type faces:
Kurier     -  monospaced Courier-like font with true italics and bold
Bukinist   -  serif/times font with true italics and bold
Univers    -  sans-serif/helvetica-like font with true italics and bold
Architect  -  Well ... a fab scribbly font like architects use.

in four codings:
Code Page 1251 - used in the (f)SU for Windows
Code Page 866  - used in the (f)SU for DOS applications.
KOI-8          - used in the (f)SU for UNIX/Internet/Relcom.
Apple Standard Cyrillic - Adobe's Cyrillic Character Set for the Mac

so you can be set for the more prevalent Cyrillic codings which
might come your way from the East or fall out of a tree in your own
backyard.  So you know, this is freeware.  No charge is requested for
their acquisition, no guarantee is made regarding your results (however,
we feel that they are very useful), all rights are retained by
Gavin Helf.

The fonts names as they appear on the server are:
ERArchitect1251.hqx

Much thanks again to Zenon Feszczak and L. Jake Jacobson.

Thanks also to Jan Labanowski, maintaining and making available
the OSC-CEE server at the Ohio Supercomputer Center there in
bucolic Columbus Ohio, currently celebrating the baptism of his son
this long weekend with many guests, food, friends, Polish beer and
vodka. Raise a glass wherever you may be and toast his new arrival.

Submissions, enhancements and corrections to the OSC-CEE-Ukrainian
server are greatly welcomed.  Any errors of commission or omission
are ultimately mine.

Stay tuned because there's more to come.

I am,

Max Pyziur
