Re: Unreadable Bulgarian Cyrillic aw1973 3/28/2007 1:10:56 AM I cannot read them in Word 2003 on XP. They were written a while a go on another PC with, I imagine, an old version of word. All I can read now is: îò ìíîãî âðåìå èñêàì äà òè êàæà îò ìíîãî âðåìå êðàñîòàòà äúðæè íè íåñïîêîéíè I have tried encoding options, but still no joy. "Michael S.

Re: Unreadable Bulgarian Cyrillic "Klaus Linke" <info[ at ]fotosatz-kaufmann.de> 3/28/2007 6:54:30 PM Sounds as if you don't have the fonts installed. Word will still happily show them in the fonts control/dialog... You'd have to look in "Tools > Options > Compatibility > Font substitutions" to see that they are missing. If you want to convert the text to Unicode (so you can use Arial, Times New Roman, ..., and to input text using a Bulgarian Windows keyboard layout, you can "repair" the text using the eefonts.dot add-in. Not sure whether I have that from the Office CD, or from a MS download page. Regards, Klaus "aw1973" wrote: [Quoted Text] >I cannot read them in Word 2003 on XP.

[Quoted Text] > Dear Klaus > Could you email the eefonts.dot to me and if you have it the TMSCYR.TTF > I can't find it anywhere on the internet You don't need 'old' fonts. Macro eefonts.dot / option "Fix Broken Text" in Word' menu - the thing to solve the problem described in this thread - can be obtained this way: 1) Office 97 - http://office.microsoft.com/rus/downloads/9798/cyrfonts.aspx 2) Office 2000/XP - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q260162 3) Office 2003 already has "Fix Broken Text" option and it will be installed on 1st use -- Regards, Paul Gorodyansky "Cyrillic (Russian): instructions for Windows and Internet": http://RusWin.net Russian On-screen Keyboard: http://Kbd.RusWin.net
