For those of you interested in Cyrillic on OS X:
Since my last message, after installing Cyrillix 1.0
(http://download.com.com/3000-2274-9423661.html?tag=lst-0-1)
I have been able to use both the standard Russian and transliterated
keyboards, and not only with the fonts that Cyrillix installed. Both
previously installed copies of Cyrillic II and subsequently installed
copies of Cyrillic II sans have worked in Word, and have worked with
this keyboard. I have been able to install these fonts directly in
OS X (by dropping them into the fonts folder), rather than initially
installing them in 9.2, as some had suggested.
There are only two minor issues:
1) Be aware that the Cyrillix Russian-QWERTY keyboard differs from
the AATSEEL layout (the location of "zh", for instance).
2) A weird problem I haven't solved yet: often, when I move from
one application into another (say, Internet Explorer, or SplashID, or
Quicken), I am immediately switched into switched into the Russian
keyboard (and a Russian font). This is a definite annoyance, and if
anyone has any ideas about how to remedy the problem, I would be
grateful if you let me know off-line.
