A * N * N * O * U * N * C * I * N * G =================================================== CYRILLIC ALPHABETS 2.0 Russian, Ukrainian, Macedonian, Serbian & Bulgarian Bitmap Fonts =================================================== Classic Concepts announces Slavic Fonts for the Amiga(R) Computer. The unprecedented ease of use of custom keyboard configurations on the Amiga has made it possible for us to offer a dozen attractive monochrome and multicolor typefaces with keyboards for 5 Cyrillic alphabets. Each font comes in a variety of styles including plain, outline, shadow for a total of approximately 36 styles/sizes. Each Cyrillic alphabet also includes a Latin version, so you actually receive two fonts in one. The user can choose from three keyboard layouts for each language (for a total of 15 in all). Layouts include: a) 47-key computer layout as recommended by the AATSEEL Ad Hoc Committee, b) QWERTY-phonetic layout for people accustomed to western keyboards or learning the cyrillic phonetic sounds, and c) Soviet typewriter-to-computer-keyboard adaptation, which includes the shifted numbers and Soviet location for the period and comma. Accents and characters not included in the Russian language are accessible through Macedonian, Bulgarian, etc. keyboard options. Switch easily between keyboard configurations by clicking on icons provided. Cyrillic and Latin characters can be combined in the same document by using the Set utilities or the ALT key. These fonts are compatible with all applications which allow you to load the Amiga Workbench fonts, including WYSIWYG word processors, and paint programs. They can be inserted as a graphic image in video and desktop publishing applications by first loading them into a paint program and saving them as a 'brush' image. Suitable for language and history students, professors, government officials and people interested in corresponding with family and friends in Eastern Europe and Russia. The package includes a dozen artist-designed fonts in sizes ranging from 9 to 42 lines (36 styles/sizes), several online utilities for moving and setting fonts and a comprehensive 80+ page manual with samples, and keyboard and ASCII charts. This company specializes in graphics accessories for microcomputers and is particular about quality control and lucid documentation.
