Free Cyrillic Fonts For Mac Computers
This is the first of the foureasy steps of this guide. Your computer comes with limited or nosupport for Cyrillic languages and in this step you will install fontsthat contain letters of Cyrillic alphabets (Russian, Ukrainian,Belarussian, etc.) to be able to display and even type Cyrillic text.
Fonts recommended for download (this applies to all otherrecommended software on this site unless specified otherwise) fromthis page are free- or shareware. A number of links tocommercial Cyrillic fonts are available.Don't forget to check the links to pages with additional information atthe bottom of this page!
Mac OSX ships with a few fonts containing Cyrillic alphabet characters.Lucida is among those. These fonts conform to Apple StandardCyrillic encoding. Fonts installed in System 9 are automatically madeavailable in Mac OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X from a 'russified'System 9, your do not need to reinstall the fonts. Itis still useful to have fonts in other encodings in addition to AppleStandard Cyrillic. I use the 'ER' series of fonts available from BRAMA Ukrainian Gateway. Forexample, here are links to download ER Univers in variousencodings:
To install fontsin OS X, place individual font files into /Library/Fonts folder.If an application is running, you need to quit and relaunch it for thenewly installed fonts to become available. The remainder of this page as well as Step 2is optional reading and is not required - you may peruse it for generaland historic information. Proceed directly to Step 3. |
System installer for MacOS 9 allows you install Apple's Cyrillic support software (basically, abundled Cyrillic Language Kit), which includes Apple Standard Cyrillicfonts and a Cyrillic script. You should be able to run the installer overthe already-install System 9 and just add the Cyrillic support files. Toinstall, do the following:
Ifyou're interested in such font encodings as KOI8, CP1251, etc. in additionto Apple Standard Cyrillic, see above. You willfind more supporting information below, although the remainder of thispage is optional reading and is not required. After completing Mac OS 9Cyrillic support installation instructions, you do not need to install aseparate script, and therefore can skip Step 2, proceeding directly to Step3. |
In this Step you'll berequired to download and install 2 different standards of fonts on yourMacintosh: KOI8 and Apple StandardCyrillic.
KOI stands for 'Kod Obmena Informatsii' orCode of Information Exchange. It is an 8-bit encoding (hence the nameKOI8) which includes both Latin and Cyrillic alphabets and is used inRussia predominantly for communication purposes, such as e-mail, USENET,Internet publishing via WWW, Gopher, etc.
There are other standardsof character encoding, both Latin and Cyrillic. For example, a standardused in the USA is called ASCII or American National Standard Code forInformation Interchange; its most common form is 7-bit encoding whichonly contains characters of the Latin alphabet. Besides KOI8, there are atleast three more methods of encoding Cyrillic text, and while surfing theInternet, you might see the names Apple Standard Cyrillic, Codepage 1251(MS-Windows ANSI) and Codepage 866 (Alternative PC). Those encodings aremore commonly used on Windows and DOS computers, respectively.
AKOI8 font is needed to be able to display KOI8 text; to be able towrite in KOI8, an appropriate keyboard layout is also necessary. Amongseveral KOI8 fonts available on the Internet, I would recommend eitherDan Chirkov's KOI8-Terminal package or the ER (stands forEnglish-Russian) series of fonts. Note - Dan Chirkov's package isreferenced here for historical purposes since those fonts were the firstMacintosh KOI8 fonts to become available and as a result probably havelarger installed base than the recent ER series.
- Daniel Chirkov's packageincludes fonts (TrueType, Bitmap and Postscript) and a keyboard layout.This package can be found on many Internet sites dealing with Russia andthe Russian language, as well as on Info-Mac.
Downloadkoi8v2.cpt.hqx file;decompress using StuffIt Expanderand install it. Note: The file is currently not available. Pleasescroll down to the section of ER fonts for your KOI8 font needs.6/10/98
Since ourgoal in this step is to install the fonts, it is my recommendation thatyou install only one suitcase of fonts out of the whole package - it iscalled 'KOI8-Terminal.suit' and can be found in the 'TrueType'folder (see illustration above). If you need help with installing thefonts on your Macintosh, follow this link.
Note: PostScript fontKOI8Ter - a part of the package - is broken. I do not recommendinstalling it. If you do, you will not be able to print KOI8 text to aLaserwriTer printer.
