MultiLex 4.0 R/E & E/R dictionaries

[David Powelstock]

Probably you just need to install a Win 2000 Cyrillic system font.  Do you
have Finger Soft "Cyrillic Support," by any chance?  That has a handy system
font switcher within it called "Cyrillic Setup."  If not, you can cruise
over to http://www.gwu.edu/~slavic/gw-cyrillic/cyrilize.htm#system_fonts,
which suggests that it might be very easy to enable the Cyrillic font you
need.  If that doesn't work, try searching the internet for "Win 2000
Cyrillic system font" or even " Win 2000 Cyrillic system font switcher."
I'm sure this info is out there.  I don't use Win 2000, so that's about as
far as I can take you.  Good luck.
Cheers,
David Powelstock
