I'm using Cyrillic fonts right now. I bought a "PC" version of them from
Casady and Green, and Glenn Reid helped me get them working on the NeXT
(thanks again, Glenn!).
Russian is quite easy to do, because there are no accent marks to worry
about. (Assuming you're entering Russian text without stress marks:-)

I'd like to join this discussion, too. I'm concerned in particular with distribution in Europe. Last week I was asked to pay "something beetwen $30000 and $40000" for the old Cube + Laser Printer (I'm not joking). I think that NeXT wouldn't be happy to know that a VAR is reselling their machines with such a price increase. So I'd like to discuss this matter with some international sales people at NeXT. -- Arrigo Benedetti | USENET: root@pubit.sublink.ORG Via S.Agata 11, 41100 Modena - Italy | BANG: ..!rutgers!deejay!gear!pubit VOICE +39.59.216688 FAX +39.59.220727 | TELEX 512007 PUBIT I | Sublink ... the Italian **nix link ...

I'm trying to convince my boss that we should buy at least one NeXTStation and he gave me the permission to find out what the educational price would be, if we got it from the UK distributor. Their material seemed to indicate that educational discount NeXTs _are_ directly available from NeXT inc., but I guess they meant institutions that have signed a contract with NeXT. (If you are wondering why I'm getting a NeXT after that Emacs posting, please note that I'm not buying it with my own money. One reason for the anti-Emacs posting was that I wanted to hear about alternatives and make more people aware that not everyone is happy with Emacs. I'm still one of the strongest NeXT supporters at our university.) ____________________________________________________________________________ / Juri Munkki / Helsinki University of Technology / Wind / Project / / jmunkki@hut.fi / Computing Center Macintosh Support / Surf / STORM / ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If this is not the educational price, it is a _slight_ improvement on the tendency of some computer companies to treat the exchange rate as if pound=dollar. I wonder which computer company is going to be the first to realize that Europe is going to be one big market in 1992, and start pricing accordingly. -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
