Cyrillic System Fonts

Our Cyrillic Support 2000 product lets you install Cyrillic versions of the Windows system fonts.

Background

While you can normally select a font in your documents, there are many contexts in Windows where font selection is not possible:

Search and Replace Dialogs. Many Windows programs do not let you select the font used for typing a search target (e.g., WordPerfect, Lotus WordPro, Microsoft Word 6 and earlier, etc.).
Windows Notepad. Under Windows 95, Notepad does not let you select which font is used to edit your document.
Text Entry Windows in Graphics Programs. Many graphics programs open a secondary window to let you enter text. The secondary window normally uses a system font rather than the font you have selected in your document.
Menus, Window Titles, Help Systems. If you have a program that was designed for sale in Russia, its menus, window title, and help system are probably written in Russian. It is nearly impossible to use such programs on a non-Russian version of Windows unless you install Cyrillic system fonts.

In order to use Cyrillic in contexts such as these, you need to replace your normal Windows system fonts by Cyrillic versions.

Our Cyrillic Support 2000 product includes a program called Cyrillic Setup that allows you to replace your normal system fonts by Cyrillic ones.

Cyrillic Setup can be run as often as desired to install Cyrillic versions of the system fonts or to restore your normal system fonts.
