Cyrillic on OSX--some good news

TextEdit seems to handle pasted text just fine.  (I'm using Chimera as
my web browser, in case that helps.)  So this isn't an OS X issue, so
far as I can tell, it's very definitely an Office v.X issue.  In any
case, I have this issue under OS X (10.2.3) using Office v.X.  I don't
know how much good contacting Microsoft will do.

If you're still using a previous (non-Aqua) version of Office, this may
be a legitimate Aqua->Classic crossover issue as well.  I don't have
any data on that because I don't have access to a version of Office
that runs under Classic.

By the way, TrueType fonts can be used under OS X, so any Windows fonts
you have should work under OS X without having to pay for separate
"Mac-friendly" fonts.

Cheers,
Chris
