Need help with cyrillic fonts
#1
I neeed assistance with cyrillic fonts.

Which font might best be used for html? I try to write Greek words into a html page, but when I upload it, the text has turned to dots and questionmarks agin. I have several Greek fonts on my pc, I can see them all just fine, just the uploading seems to fail every time.

Help is greatly appreciated.

I tried some Greek with unicode, which worked fine (example).

Not quite yure I understand you 100% right here, but do you mean dots and questionmarks in the browser? Can you see Greek characters alright in your browser when you go to a Greek website? If not you might simply and only have to install/enable that encoding in your browser ...

So where to find a listing of each character?

Yes, dots and questionmarks. Yes, I can see the words perfectly when on another webpage. I can also coy/past them into my html page. I have even downloaded several Greek fonts.

Nevertheless, the word won't 'stay' Greek! Cry

Robert, up to know thee is little standarization at least the Russian internet.
The most widely used is Cyrillic (KOI8-R) but those working on old mainframes use Unicode (UTF 8) . Newer machines use Cyrillic windows.
If your pages come from Ukrane then Cyrillic (KOI8-U) might apply.
If your PC has s windows OS try to set the international support on the control panel and add at least one East European language in your keyboard options.
Hope it helps

Kind regards

At the website of the Unicode Consortium you will find everything you need: charts, interfaces, keyboards.
