Electronic Resources on the Russian Federation
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 unheard of 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. The necessary font has been recorded whenever possible.
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!
For information about downloading Cyrillic fonts onto your home computer, please
