Howdy, I'm looking for serbian cyrillic fonts for the screen and for a postcript laser printer (I need the analytic type) for a crazy serbian friend of mine. This might be a wild goose chase (I don't know if anything like this is likely to be in public domain), but I'll try anyway. I'm having a hard time getting mail through the swiss email since I've been out here, so if anybody has the material, your best bet is to post it to the newsgroup or try using the automatic reply feature of the news software. Thanks, Antonio Loda', Ascom Autelca AG, 201 Worbstrasse CH-3073 Guemligen Switzerland

I once drew screen fonts (8x8, 8x14, 8x16) for ISO 8859-5, which includes Serbian characters (that for MS-DOS; you're not saying what machine your crazy friend is using; I'm hope he's not crazy enough to use a Mac:). I am not aware of any PS, but if your friend can use TeX, there are METAFONT fonts called WNCYR that include Serbian. You can get them from MAILSERV@YMIR.CLAREMONT.EDU or from LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU. I'm not quite sure about YMIR's nomenclature; for listserv, send it mail: GET DOSGOST UUEARC GET DOSGOSTS UUEARC GET WNCYR PACKAGE Regards, Dimitri Vulis

I have a Mac PostScript font, and a 12-pt screen font to go along with it, which supports all the Slavic languages that use Cyrillic--Serbian, Macedonian, Belorussian, Russian, etc. The keyboard layout is not optimized for Serbian (`j' is option-j, etc.), but you could fix that by editing the keyboard map with ResEdit. It's a fairly plain, bland sans-serif font; I did it from scratch and it's my first creation. However, it's certainly reasonable-looking. If you're interested in this, let me know. --j. _____________________________________________________________________ Jay Sekora | internet: js@princeton.edu Information Centers Consultant | bitnet: js@pucc.bitnet Princeton University | phone 609/258-6007
