Hi,
I'm trying to setup WinME (no choice) to print cyrillic letters.
We're using the german ME version with multilingual support.
Changing the keyboard to RU produces cyrillic characters on
screen - but fat black dots in print.
Since a simple test using Wordpad worked well I assume, it's
an OOo/SO problem, right?
Any hints?

Try to select fonts with "cyr" in their names. And exactly declare the
language of Cyrillic text.

I'd really like to. But unfortunatelly those "Cyr" font don't show up
in OOo 1.0.3.1 under WinME. I tried nearly all fonts available but only
"Tahoma" made it in cyrillic on the printout :-(

Not sure, what you mean here. Where should I "declare" the language?
Thanks.

In the CHARACTER FORMAT dialoguie (Format - Character) on the FONT tab
under the TYPEFACE selection box the LANGUAGE selection droplist is
located. What language is chosen there when you trying to type in Cyrillic?
More, you may create font substitutions like:
Times New Roman Cyr=Times New Roman,204
;204 is the locale code for Cyrillic/Russian

Ahm thanks, didn't think of =that=! I'm currently at home with no WinDos
installation available, but I guess it's the same in both Linux and
Windos.

I'll check this as soon as I'm at work.

Already done that, thanks! E.g. 'WordPad' honors this settings and
displays the baltic/cyrillic etc. font-variants, but unfortunatelly OOo
does not. But if the language-setting you mentioned does the trick, I can
live with it (and hopefully our writing ladies as well).

Keep me informed, please.

Unfortunately this doesn't change anything. Still just black bullets on
paper.
Ah, to be exact, there was one difference: in the "Courier" paragraph
the characters changed to little white circles.
Well, the game goes on ...

We have experienced a problem, though not trying to print it yet.
It is worse as, actually, on later re-opening the file, too, substituion HAS occurred: a question mark appears [?] in place of every single Russian character typed,
and this seems irreversible -- as best I could investigate,
notably looking at the file directly [in simple editor].
Similarly, fonts of names ... (Cyrillic) are absent from the lists of all programmes...!!
OH, yes: the Language of thext there is Russian !
In Wordpad, the characters typed DO STAY; they are not reduced to '?' (but still the font not selectable, e..g, afterwards)!
Is Windws or S.O. the culprit of this, though?!
-> Has it been solved in Ediiton 8?!
!!
I am amazed more have not written in about this (e.g., people of Russia, etc., themselves); surely, it is an imoprtant fundamental problem.
