Welcome to Russian Font III
Due to the good responses I got from my first Russian Fonts on Disk
517 and to the Russian Vector Font on Disk 805, I redesigned the
keyboard layout in order to match the Russian typewriter & to be
compatible with the Russian fonts on WINDOWS: The four fonts are
called: Glasnost (<=> Courier), Izwestja (<=> Times) and Wolga (
<=> Helvetica) & Rubaka.
One thing about the fonts on Disk 517 was that they were bitmap fonts
and that they were not rescalable. So that's the reason why I'm using
now the ADOBE POSTSCRIPT TYPE 1 format. I can transform the fonts
into the PageStream-Format (DMF), the Professional Page-Format &
the IntelliFont-Format. When you pay the Shareware-Fee, you get all
four formats.
NOTE:
Since this font is SHAREWARE one letter is missing (it's the 'D','d').
In order to get the complete font, please send 10$, 15DM, 5£ or
equivalent and a disk to me.
USAGE:
Copy the Keymap 'ruslat2' to your directory "DEVS:Keymaps".
When you want to use the Russian font on your AMIGA, you have to
switch the KEYMAP to the new Russian one called rus0 & rus1, (IN
SHELL/CLI: SETMAP RUS1/SETKEYBOARD RUS1 or from preferences).
Otherwise you will not be able to reach all the keys!
I've made an IFF picture with all keyboard equivalents of the
Russian letters.
FUTURE PLANS:
At the moment I'm designing more Russian fonts & am trying to do
some Hebrew & Arabic fonts. But they are quite difficult, since I
don't speak Hebrew nor Arabic.
SERVICE:
If you need fonts in other languages (e.g. Greek, Arabic, Hebrew,
Thai), please write to me and send me a complete list of all
letters/signs/characters in that language (and if possible a layout
of a typewriter in order to put the keys on the right spot).
That's all folks for the moment, please look out for new releases.
Many thanks go to WLAD FOMIN of the AMIGA CENTRE LATVIA for his
information about the Russian keyboard layout.
You may write to me in
Ceský, Deutsch, English, Français, Italiano, Russkij!!!
