Installing Cyrillic Fonts

Kind People,
Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum to post this question.
I would like to install Russian (Cyrillic) fonts so that when I am using Work, or iMovie, or iWeb, etc. I can choose the Cyrillic font from the same location as all the other fonts. I've been searching the internet for just how to do this and I'm finding nothing. Maybe I'm just not getting it, but I figure this shouldn't be all that difficult. Can someone help me with this?
Thank you so much.
Scott

There is no need to install any Cyrillic fonts, as OS X comes with them already. In a modern OS you don't switch languages by changing fonts, but by changing keyboard layouts instead. Go to system prefs/international/input menu and check the box for Russian or whatever you want, plus the box for "show input menu in finder." Then select Russian or whatever in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder and type away.

Cyrillic fonts in Story?

Dear Adobe, could you please install Cyrillic fonts? I can not neither name project in Russian, nor write a line in script.

It may be that the iBooks fonts that you can choose do not contain any Cyrillic characters, so a default Cyrillic font is used. In any case only Apple can change the way iBooks works, you can tell them what you want via the feedback channels

Problem with Cyrillic fonts in Mail

I have a problem with Mail mangling Cyrillic fonts. It happens like this:
1. I create a new mail. I set my input locale to Bulgarian - Phonetic.
2. I type out the email and send it to someone (afraid I don't know their config).
3. The other person replies - doesn't seem to matter whether it's in English or Cyrillic. Their reply appears perfectly, and also my quoted original text from 1 is fine in their reply when looking at it in my Inbox.
4. I then reply to their reply in Cyrillic as per step 1 above, except by pressing reply, rather than New Mail.
What happens then is as follows:
a - the recipient receives my email and reads the Cyrillic content just fine
b - the email that appears in my Sent folder has all Cyrillic content in the message from steps 1-4 above mangled. The mangling moves Cyrillic letters about - i.e. all characters are in cyrillic and the same original characters always map to the same character, they're just wrong. e.g. Дени gets mapped to дЕОЙ. Стефан maps to уФЕЖБО.
This is a bit annoying - as I have no record of the sent mail, and you're never quite sure whether the mangling is just in the sent folder or whether the recipient is also getting the mangled text.
Any thoughts? I haven't been able to find anyone with a similar problem on these forums.
Thanks in advance,
Stephan
*My configuration*
I'm running Leopard 10.5.6 on a PowerBook.
My Mail version is Version 3.5 (930.3)
Mail is configured to use:
Lucida Grande 11 for Mailbox Font
Lucide Grande 12 for Message List Font
Helvetica 12 for Message Font
My mac has the following input locales installed:
British
Bulgarian (phonetic)

It might be helpful to add that in Mail->Preferences->Composing the setting is Plain Text.
And also that if I reply to myself all day long, this problem doesn't occur - its only when replying to someone else.

Cyrillic fonts fo FCP

I've bought my iMac and FCE in Russia and Cyrillic fonts were pre-installed in my computer. In few days I will have to edit on Mac Book Pro that my client brings from UK. He told me that the computer has no Cyrillic fonts. But we will need to make Russian titles. I think the basic fonts may be installed from Mac OS discs. Isn't?
Any other idea?
Message was edited by: Valya

Thank you! And do you know if Lucida Grande can be used in FCP?
Sorry, I don't have FCP to test, but I would be surprised to find that the main system font used by OS X was not available to FCP. Are there fonts supplied by Apple with with OS X that do not work in that app?

X wont start after installing some fonts

Hi!
Recently I've encounterd the following bug twice when installing Arch:
I do fresh Arch install from CD, upgrade to the latest packages, install and configure xorg, xfce, slim.
Everything works perfect.
Then I install ttf fonts that have cyrillic chars: ttf-ms-fonts, ttf-dejavu, ttf-mph-2b-damase and font-bh-ttf.
Then X stops working. Reinstalling these packages does not help.
To fix this I must reinstall fontconfig.
I suppose that some font package brokes font cache.
Anyone encountered the same problem?

Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/TTF"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/Type1"
EndSection
But how is this related?
When X won't start it displays something about fonts/misc and wrong reference counter - 2 instead of 1. I couldn't post exact xorg.log as I'm on another machine now.

How Do you use Cyrillic Fonts (Russian) in InDesign CS4 or CS3

I have a headline in Russian a client sent me in an e-mail that I need to use on a poster I'm laying out in InDesign.
I downloaded ERUniverse cyrillic font, and when I paste the Russian headline in a text box and go to select ERUniverse cyrillic, there's no Russian!
Also, I go down to the bottom of my fonts there's Hebrew, Japanesse, Chinese fonts, etc...but no Russian.
Please help with instructions on how to use a cyrillic font!!!

I downloaded ERUniverse cyrillic font, and when I paste the Russian headline in a text box and go to select ERUniverse cyrillic, there's no Russian!
That font must not be Unicode enabled. An old hack to insert Cyrillic characters into a regular font was to replace "unused" characters with Cyrillic ones. So, to type a 'de' д, you would insert the character code for an 'ê'.
Modern fonts are Unicode enabled, which simply means that in every font Cyrillic characters are found in the same place. Thus, changing the font does not change the text.
If you are working on Windows, check the Character Map for fonts that support Cyrillic. Select 'Advanced view', Character set: Unicode, Group by: Unicode Subrange. A small window pops up, enumerating all possible Unicode groups. Scroll down and select 'Cyrillic'. Now the character map will only show these characters for each font, so simply scroll through your font list to see which one have them.
(And OSX no doubt has a similar feature.)
The older Windows system fonts Times New Roman, Arial, Georgia, Verdana, and the newer ones Calibri, Cambria, and Candara, and lots of the fonts that came with your InDesign installation support Cyrillic (at least Minion Pro and Myriad Pro do).
It's also possible the original text has not been typed using a Unicode font. If you need a quick check, select some of the text and select the font Arial Unicode (on a Mac, I think "LastResort" will do). If you see useful text, you're okay to go. If not, you have a huge problem. You will have to find the exact font that was used in the original document and use that, or use Find and Replace to change each character to the actual Cyrillic one (and you will need a hardcopy before you can do that).

How do I install PFB fonts when using Windows 7 64bit?

I got a new 64 bit computer with Windows 7. But when I copied the fonts I was using on the old computer the PFB fonts do not work any longer.
The old ATMF program does not work on this computer so how do I now install the PFB fonts?

Hopefully you did not try to install the old Adobe Type Manager software. If you did, you may need to totally reload Windows if you cannot restore your system to its state prior to attempting to install that software!
Assuming that you didn't make that fatal mistake, the method for installing Type 1 fonts, each of which consists of a .pfb and a .pfm file is as follows:
(1)     Copy the .pfb and the .pfm files to a single directory if they are not already so available.
(2)     Select the .pfm files for the fonts you wish to install.
(3)     Right-click and select Install which will then proceed to install the fonts onto your system copying both the .pfb and the .pfm files to the C:\Windows\Fonts directory. Do not drag-and-drop these files! Alternatively, if you don't want the font files themselves resident in the C:\Windows\Fonts directory, when you right-click the files, select Install as shortcut. This installs the font but references it from its current location.

Error while loading shared libraries after installing cleartype fonts.

Hi there.!
Since the default fonts of Arch looked quite ugly on my LCD, I read the Fonts wiki and installed cleartype packages from AUR.But now, when I try switching to runlevel 5 (I use GDM by the way), it throws up following error:
/usr/sbin/gdm-binary: error while loading shared libraries: libcairo.so.2 : cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.
I didn't edit the pkgbuilds in any way.Running "locate libcairo.so" doesn't show up anything either.
Any help guys.?

Well you have two choices, use windows XP or google for 'fonts linux ugly'
or there is a search feature on this forum, it works well.
setting a right DPI will probably make your fonts look the best no matter what packages you install or ~/.fonts file you use.

My fonts that are installed in Font Book are not showing up in Microsoft Word. Can someone help me fix this problem?

Hello!
I am needing some help. I own a Mac Book Air with OS X 10.7.5. This computer belongs to the school district I teach for, so I do not have permission to do a huge wipe that would uninstall programs such as Word. When I first got my computer, I added all my fonts. I did this by putting them into a fonts folder. The fonts were not all showing up in Microsoft Word, so I was told to use Font Book. All of my fonts show up and are installed in Font Book; however, they do not show up in Word. I have restarted my computer. All the fonts are validated. I have tried almost everything I could think of after researching answers online. Another problem--my bullet points are messed up. When I click the bullet button, instead of an open circle it's an open rectangle. This doesn't concern me as much, but I thought it might help as a clue as to what is wrong. The fonts also do not show up in the Format > Font box.
Also, I want to point out that my colleagues, using the exact same computer, network, etc, are able to download and use all the fonts. They have tried to fix mine, also.
Any help is much appreciated! Maybe there is some way to wipe out my fonts and start clean?
Thanks so much!

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

How To use Arial (Cyrillic) font in Reports 10g for PDF output

Hi,
My reports are in Arial (Cyrillic) font, but there are only hieroglyphes in pdf output. Is there a problem with fonts on Report Server or something else?
My Report Server is 10g R2 (10.1.2.2) and OS is RHEL 4.
I followed metalink notes 750805.1 and 356221.1 but it didn't help me.

You also have to be careful with fonts. The font you download may be the same name, but a different font. Just because you find a Zurich BT font, does not mean it is the same. If you search on the internet, there are several sources of some Zurich BT fonts free. However, they may or may not be the same font. Editing is best done on the original document and not the PDF. One of the PDFs I found on the Landis site was only in Zurich font. I would think that the original file is available from the company and that should be the document you edit, not the PDF. It appears the original was created in InDesign (CS3).

How to install new fonts using code in java?

Hi,
How to install font in a system using java, provided i know the font file's address. Is there any specific class/method available for this purpose? Copying the file to windows/font directory will work for windows, but I think it wont be generic to all operating system. So is there anyway to install a font using code?
I also want to know how to make the font available only until my application window is open, It must be available to all other external applications like photoshop, word etc., When I close my window it must un-install automatically or be made not available to other applications. Any suggestions? Please do help! Thanks in advance...

I have already tried the above, But the font created using input stream is available only to my application* and is not viewable in photoshop.*. I realize this. Like I said, I know of no method that will register/deregister the font with the system. You'll have to create your own method that takes the operating system into account.
String os = System.getPropery("os.name");
if(os.equals("Windows Vista")) {
}else if(os.equals("Windows XP")) {
}else if(os.equals("Windows NT")) {
}else if(os.equals("Solaris")) {
AIX
Digital Unix
FreeBSD
HP UX
Irix
Linux
Mac OS
Mac OS X
MPE/iX
Netware 4.11
OS/2
Solaris
Windows 2000
Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows NT
Windows Vista
Windows XPYou'll need the standard font directory for each system. I think all the window ones are C:\Windows\Font\ . Each OS probably has its own little quark (like having several font directories or throwing different security exceptions). Undoubtly it's going to require some research and a bit of trial and error. You can probably work some magic with Runtime.exec(...) as well.
The alternative would be to google for some libraries that offer similar functionality, or promt the user for the system's font directory and save the location of the directory in a file somewhere for future use (so the user dosen't have to specify the font directory everytime he/she starts up the application).
