:with ResEdit (<http://www.mac.org/utilities/resedit/>), find a KCHR
:resource in the system file with a name corresponding to that of the
:keyboard layout you are looking for.  Copy it into the file, delete

:number of the KCHR resource in the system file and find kcs# and kcs4
:resources with the same ID number. Copy them into the file as well,
:save file with ".rsrc" extension and put it into Library/Fonts.

:>The alternative is scary:  It means that all the documents created with

:>it means having to learn a new layout.

:If the documents are written with Apple Cyrillic FONTS, they should
:still be readable under OS X. If there are problems, try to save as
:rtf. If you see only underscores when opening the documents, try to
:select all and choose Times CY or some other CY font.

:If you prefer to redesign the layout, you will find links to
:utilities in Alan Wood's excellent Unicode pages:
