Dear SEELANGovtsy,

Thanks to all who came up with extraordinarily informative answers for my query about Cyrillic in Blackboard's course management package. Special thanks to Jennifer Tishler, Robert Whittaker, and Marissa Polsky who provided detailed answers, some of them in multiple parts.

Robert Whittaker and Marissa Polsky both reported some functionality in some of the Blackboard features. Both were list postings, so I won't repost them here.

Jennifer Tishler (I owe you one!) made my inquiry into a comprehensive research question. She contacted both Samantha Earp (Duke's resident guru on non-Western fonts in Blackboard) and Blackboard itself. Jennifer reported that Blackboard can be Cyrillicized in all the features of Version 5.5. (GW will come onboard to Blackboard 6.0). She provided Blackboard's URL for information on multilanguage use:
http://behind.blackboard.com/docs/brochures/BlackboardMLBrochure_en_uk.pdf

Again, thanks to all who reponded. I now have enough information to take to out IT people.

Best wishes,
Richard Robin
