I plan to purchase either a MacIntosh Plus or an Atari 1040ST monochrome.
Even though the ST beats it in graphics, the Mac still has better support
and more software available.
Whichever computer I get, one of the primary uses I'll have for it is
simultaneous word processing in both an English font, and the Cyrillic
alphabet. What I need to know is, can the Mac do this, and if so, what
word processor can handle it, and where do I get the Cyrillic font?
Whew. Thanks for whatever advice you can provide.

(All other words in Russian.) Laser & plain Fluent Fonts use a different keyboard layout even though the font name is the same. The font bit patterns are different too. Laser Fonts come as Cyrillic, Bold C, Italic C, and Bold Italic C as one happy family. Laser Fonts seems to also contain the OLD Russian letters (as I've been told). I have had both (and some PD fonts) on my Mac but only the Laser Fonts now. -- UUCP:...!amdahl!drivax!socha WAT Iron'75 "Everything should be made as simple as possible but not simpler." A. Einstein
