Typing in Russian with an iMac and System 9.04

[Kat Tancock]

Okay, here's what I've got for it to work for me. I'm using Netscape 4.7 on
OS 9.

The encoding has to be Cyrillic - Windows.

In the Netscape preferences under "fonts", I've selected "pryamoj prop" and
"pryamoj" as my fonts. Also, make sure that "Use my fonts..." is selected.
I've found these three options to be a major headache in reading Russian -
sometimes you have to switch them around.

I then switch my keyboard to "Русская - Apple Std". This is not the keyboard
that comes with OS 9 (that one isn't translit) - it's one I downloaded from
Russification of Macintosh - I assume that's where you downloaded different
keyboards.

Then you press caps lock and just type, and it should show up as Russian in
the blanks.

If it's still not working, email me privately and we should be able to
figure it out. But be a little more detailed next time. :)
