Professional-quality, hinted, scalable, bilingual Cyrillic-English Type 1 and TrueType® fonts. Cyrillic II includes Cyrillic and English characters and upper and lowercase stress accents to go over any character. Cyrillic II for Windows supports 13 Cyrillic alphabet languages: Avar, Belarus, Bulgarian, Chechen, Evenki, Kabardian, Lak, Lezgin, Moksha, Mordvin, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian. Cyrillic II for Macintosh supports those 13 languages plus Komi, Macedonian, Moldavian, and Udmurt. The fonts are available in nine typestyles: Times®-, Helvetica®- (Arial®-), Helvetica Condensed-, Palatino®-, Garamond-, Courier®-, Chancery-, Slavonic-, and Optina-styles, in plain, bold, italic, and bold-italic styles (except Chancery, Slavonic, and Optina are in plain only). Optina is styled after the inscriptions on the icons created at the Optina monastery in Russia.

Cyrillic II comes with six optional keyboard layouts: Russian Computer, Russian Typewriter, AATSEEL transliterated (phonetic), Ukrainian, Serbian, and Bulgarian.

It also allows easy transfer of files between the Mac and any version of Windows using a code page 1251 font, such as the Cyrillic II for Windows fonts.
