making Cyrillic look like Cyrillic

[Bob Schubert]

I need some help regarding Windows Cyrillic Fonts and keyboard drivers, and
I am trying to help one of our faculty members get a large number of
phrases converted. These phrases should be Cyrillic, but they are in
undecipherable characters. An example would be: #@(@F:J0,$>@, B,>4, CJFF8 at 6
AD"&@F:"&>@6 P,D8&4.

I've tried to attach a copy of one page from her book which includes
several types of errors she's finding. That copy is at the end of this
message; unfortunately, the characters in question did not display
accurately. I should say that this has come about by copying this book from
a computer where the fonts came out ok, to this computer where the fonts do
not appear correctly.

The errors are as follows:

The last character in the first word of the last paragraph
(Torzhestvennost) appears as an equal sign; it should be an apostrophe.

The second paragraph (starts out, "Terms such as
"), in its sixth line, has
about 14 characters that are meaningless: &,:4R"&@,, B:"&>@, ïåíèå, but
they should be Cyrillic, just like the two words in the second line of this
same paragraph, following the words, "Holy event"; these two words appear
just as they should.

We are working in Word 2002 on a Windows 2000 machine. Some of this text
was originally entered in WordPerfect, some of it in Word. I'm not sure I
could accurately tell you which version or which text is old and which is
newer.

This computer has Azeri Cyrillic and Russian installed. It seems as though
the problem text carries a font called WP Cyrillic, whereas the accurate
text says it is Times New Roman; but when I apply Times New Roman font to
the problem text, it appears as a bunch of squares.

Can you help or direct me to someone who can?

Thank you so much, in advance, for your help.

Here is the copy of the one page:

as an "Arkhidiakon." There is nothing here even resembling the comportment
of an Arkhidiakon- the voice is non-existent and  the style is grotesque-
he sounds as if inebriated.  Yet he is praised by officials of the Moscow
Patriarchate for his service to “patriarchs” from 1972:

his most  distinctively clear and expressive reading, as well as his self-
less officiating of services have invaded the hearts of many worshipers).

We have lost our ability to listen and discern in this highly destructive
century. Incidentally, the singers of todays Patriarchal Choir in Moscow
are not "church singers," but secular figures, and their sound is that of a
continuous forte, very difficult to endure during a service. In fact, the
choir has finally been criticized for its incompetence,  yet keeps on being
televised nationwide on major feasts, and is in danger of becoming a model
in the minds of the viewers. Here is a brief profile of a real Arkhidiakon,
prior to the revolution, Arkhidiakon Rozov:

unique. Such a tremendous voice with a background of four not very strong
voices in the quintet did not seem monstruous as he was in a tight and
mellifluous union with his "buddies" in the quintet. He also read the Six
Psalms, read them so expressively, distinctly and sincerely, that his
reading kept in church all those, who usually at that time, come out for a
smoke).

attention was on Rozov. "Kto Bog velii," Rozov begins to sing quietly in
the lower register in a particularly ancient melody...Then he starts
reading aloud, expressively, with customary speech like intonation the
sinoksar of the rite of Orthodoxy...How he read it! Not chanting, but each
word interpreted by him received its distinctive vigor and persuasion...not
resorting to any "theatrical effects" but so simply, as if in a
conversation, trying to convince- and with such uplifting composure,
without the slightest hint of dramatics, which one can so perilously fall
into when reading in a declamatory style).
