Computer question

[frazier melissa]

Dear Seelangers,

I have what I think is a very simple computer question.  Sarah Lawrence is
in the process of changing their computer network which will involve
dropping Word Perfect. I am wondering what the best way is to get a
Cyrillic font with Microsoft Word both for my use and for the use of my
students.  With WordPerfect I used a public domain true-type font with my
computer at home which I just loaded into Windows; on the network at school
we had language modules to go with Word Perfect which were a bit unwieldy
but had the advantage of offering fonts for all the foreign languages here.
 Can I just load my font with MSWord the same way I did for WordPerfect?
Can I ask the computer people to load my font with the network?  Should I
have the department buy something for use on the network, either
specifically for Russian or for other languages?  Any thoughts are welcome,
and I'm sorry for asking such a primitive question --unfortunately the
computer support I can get on campus is nearly non-existent.  I can be
reached at mfrazier at mail.slc.edu.

Thank you,

Melissa Frazier
