[comp.windows.ms] Cyrillic font ?

hdg@otter.hpl.hp.com (Hugh Duggan) (06/25/91)

Hi,

    Does anyone out there have a cyrillic (ie Russian) font for
Windows 3.  I am currently learning Russian and my (handwritten) notes
are a mess - it would be great if I could type them up neatly and
print them out.  I did discover an archive file 'vectrfon.zip', which
was supposed to have a cyrillic font, but when I opened it up, it had
only Gothic German, Roman C, and Script.

    Thanks in advance,

    Hugh Duggan,
    HP Labs, Bristol.

I have Atech's Powerpack, which is a ATM-like screen and printerdriver
package. They carry Cyrillic font. The Keyboard layout for the cyrillic
is very convenient it follows the English layout as close as possible.
(All layed out phonetically.) You can typo at almost the same speed as
English (except you have to know Russian spelling.)

I like it.
