Cyrillic for the Mac

Step A: Download the fonts
Step B: Unstuff and install the fonts in your System
Step C: Set the User-Defined option in your Netscape for Cyrillic
  • Step B: 1. If your Netscape has not already debinhexxed and unstuffed your files, do so. Sutffit Expander is a standard utility for this.
  • 2. Open each folder, ERKurier and ERUnivers, and drop the suitcases into your System Folder
  • Step C: 1. With Netscape running, choose "General Preferences" from the popup menu under "Options" on the menu bar.
  • 2. Choose "Fonts"
  • 3. In the "For the Encoding" space, select "User-Defined"
  • 4. In the "Use the Proportional Font" space, select "ERUniversKOI8" (click on the arrow to see popup menu).
  • 5. In the "Use the Fixed Font" space, select "ERKurierKOI8".
  • 6. Set sizes to desired number (probably 12).
  • 7. Close window by clicking OK.
  • Step D: When a KOI8 document appears on your screen (in numerous strange symbols), you can read it in Cyrillic by selecting "User-Defined" from the popup menu under "Document Encoding" which is on the popup menu under "Options" on the menu bar above.
