Just curious, why then did was the font name given as Times New Roman?
Or was that just Word 2004 substituting a font without telling me?

Gary:.
I agree: I suspect the problem document is not using Unicode fonts at all,
it is probably using a Cyrillic code-page font, and that's going to be a
problem unless you can get a copy of the font they used.

Thanks John, I'll wait for the Creature :-)
Apparently I have all the fonts I should need since
I've been able to read Russian-language Word files before
and, just this morning, receive - and easily read - another
Word attachment in Russian. This was from a Russian living
in the US, who may be using an English-based OS (Mac or
Windows), as opposed to the Russian who send me the
problem file, who lives in Russia and doubtless uses
a Russianized OS.

Hi Gary:
Google is your friend :-)
My understanding is that Apple provides the fonts in OS X but if you have
not installed the Eastern European languages you need to do that.
Sorry: I know almost nothing about European fonts: Little Creature might

along in a minute, she's from that region, she may know...

G'day John!
Where would I find free Cyrillic fonts if not included with Word 2004?
As I said, I've been able to open Russian Word files before and I
have several fonts whose names end in CY (but not Times CY).
Could the "Times New Roman" that's displayed when I open
the file still mean that he used non-Unicode fonts?
BTW, just to help anyone's troubleshooting, the text appear as
nonsense characters, not the solid underlines that often
appear when trying to open such files. That's what I got when
I tried to open it using Word 98 on another (OS 9.1) computer.

Hi Gary:
Yes, Unicode is built in to Word 2004, but you may need to install the
Cyrillic Fonts to handle Russian.
It's entirely possible that the originator has used a non-Unicode font,
of
course...

I was sent a Russian text by the author but all I can read are the few
words in Latin letters. I'm using Word 2004 with the latest updates.
The displayed font is Times New Roman.
How do I read it? Isn't Unicode built into this version? Normally I
don't have problems reading Russian Word files? Does the author need to
save it differently?

Gary
