Electronic Resources on the Baltic Countries
PLEASE NOTE:
Cyrillic fonts have been downloaded onto UW-Madison Electronic Library Workstations, but library users wishing to view sites in Cyrillic must choose these fonts manually. In Netscape, font settings are changed through the "Options" pull-down menu. Choose "Options," "General Preferences," and then "Fonts." At this point you must choose both a proportional and a fixed font. It is not uncommon for a single site to use more than one font in a single file, for example, one for text, and another for links. In such cases, a KOI-8 might be chosen for as a proportional font, and a 1251 as a fixed font, or vice versa.
Please note that when using the Cyrillic fonts you will be able to display non-Cyrillic characters, however, the display looks a bit odd. For this reason, you may want to change back to the default set of fonts after viewing Cyrillic web pages.
Good luck!
