• Russian Signs

    Posted by Stuart Whitehouse on July 20, 2007 at 2:33 pm

    Hi All

    I’ve been asked to do some signs in Russian. I didn’t see this as a problem until they brought a sample in of what they required.

    There are letters in Russian which i have never come across.

    can anyone suggest how i might be able to write in Russian on my standard keyboard?

    many thanks

    You can download free Cyrillic fonts with instructions on how to use them on a western keyboard.

    you’ll need someone like dave rowland to confirm this, but i think you can change the keyboard language, i’m sure i had to do it on this laptop when i bought it, i swapped it from US english, to proper english, and recall seeing lots of other countries too, whether this will type in a native font, i don’t know though.

    I use these people for all my foreign language stuff if the client can not supply it in a digital form.

    They deal worldwide as far as I know. Nice people too.

    They supply you the finished file in eps, ai or cdr from memory. A doc file too if thats what you want 😉 Just supply them the english text as you need it, and they do the rest.

    I wouldn’t trust ‘our host’ to guide us to the resturant, too busy trying to chat up some 18year old
