Using Cyrillic Fonts On The Web

Each computer platform has different way of registering fonts. Each browser requires a little different setup. Rather than covering each variation here we are providing a list of links to other sites that do a good job of covering the nuances of Russification. Many of the sites listed cover browsers as well as keyboard switchers and email programs. Visit Optimal Viewing of The Traveller's Yellow Pages for information on how to configure your browser after you have installed Russian fonts on your computer. Remember to visit your browser manufacturer's home page for information as well. Many have excellent searchable "knowledge bases".

NOTE: Some of the sites listed may have links to other pages that provide the actual information.
