TransCyrillic® fonts
in a Unicode™-encoded version!
TransCyrillic® in Unicode™
provides professional-quality, Unicode-encoded Cyrillic fonts in 7
typestyles in TrueType® format
for typing 65 Cyrillic languages (including all languages covered both by
our non-Unicode Cyrillic II and our non-Unicode
TransCyrillic products). Because the TransCyrillic in
Unicode fonts include separate composite forms of each character with each
diacritic, every letter shape and diacritic position is
perfectly positioned. All fonts also include all Old Slavonic characters
currently supported by the Unicode standard, the
Latin 1 character set and additional Latin characters and diacritics
covering many other languages.

will open in a new browser window and will give you a greater appreciation for the beauty and
variety of these fonts. These additional samples will show you all
characters in the fonts, including the Latin characters. The
samples are on separate pages because the

Top TransCyrillic in Unicode is available
for both Windows and Macintosh:
 TransCyrillic
in Unicode for Windows
 TransCyrillic in Unicode
for Macintosh
TransCyrillic
in Unicode for Windows
TransCyrillic in Unicode for Windows includes three keyboard layouts that
provide four-characters-per-key input in Windows Vista, XP, 2000 and
NT4. The keyboards are 1) a phonetic Cyrillic keyboard layout
(based on the US keyboard) providing easy input of all the Cyrillic characters,
including the Old Slavonic characters that are in the font, using
deadkey input (with both OpenType and dead key input of the stress
mark available); 2) a keyboard layout for English and many other
Roman-based languages using the OpenType input method; and 3)
a keyboard layout for English and many other Roman-based languages
using the dead key input method.
The OpenType input method allows a more logical typing order. You
type the letter followed by the accent or other diacritic, followed
by another diacritic, if required. The character is formed as you type
with all diacritics perfectly positioned. For applications that do
not support OpenType input we have included full dead key support.
First you type the key representing the accent or diacritic, and
nothing visible happens on the screen. Then you type the letter you
want the diacritic to be placed over or around, and the keyboard
driver puts the pre-composed, perfectly positioned letter with its
diacritic into your document. Both methods produce beautiful text.
With OpenType you type letter, then its accent; with dead key you type
accent key, then its letter. See the System Requirements below for more
information. Windows System Requirements:
| Operating Systems
|
Fonts and keyboards: Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0. |
|
Fonts alone: Windows Me, 98, or 95. |
|
Please read the notes below to be sure you understand the
limitations if your Operating System is not
Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0. |
|
| Applications
|
Any Unicode-compatible application, such as Microsoft Word
2007, 2003, 2002,
2000, or 97 is compatible. Adobe®
InDesign® and QuarkXPress 7.0 are compatible. (Microsoft
Office applications are all compatible, except PowerPoint.) |
|
Older, non-Unicode applications such as QuarkXPress
6.5, PageMaker, FrameMaker, Word 95 (Word 7) and Word 6 are
not compatible with these fonts. Corel WordPerfect (any
version) and Lotus Word Pro (any version) are not
compatible with these fonts. |
|
OpenType input method: The fonts include a
stress mark that may be typed using either dead key input or
OpenType input. The OpenType method requires a Microsoft Office 2003
application such as Word 2003, and will not work with any other
application, including Office 2007. The English keyboard providing
OpenType input also requires Office 2003 applications. Users of any
other Unicode-compatible application are fully supported by the dead key input
method. |
|
Do you need a copy of Microsoft
Word 2002? We can provide the OEM
version at a discounted price. (Note you can use the deadkey input
with Word 2002, but Word 2003 is required to use the OpenType
keyboard layout method.) |
|
Microsoft PowerPoint (included in Microsoft
Office) is not compatible with TransCyrillic in Unicode
for Windows. All text is changed to the Arial font, whether typed
with the keyboard, input using Insert Symbol, or pasted from Word
using the Windows clipboard. PowerPoint users should type their text
in Word or another Unicode-compatible application, and save the text
as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use WordArt
to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to Insert,
Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it as desired.
Alternatively, users can type directly into PowerPoint using our
non-Unicode TransCyrillic fonts. (Earlier
versions of PowerPoint have not been tested for compatibility.) |
|
| Notes
|
These fonts are compatible with the
Macintosh version of TransCyrillic in Unicode. No conversion of files is
necessary when transferring files to a Macintosh if your applications
are fully Unicode-aware (and fully OpenType-aware if you are using the
OpenType keyboards) and compatible fonts are installed on both
systems. |
|
Windows
Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0: To use the keyboards for easy
input of Unicode text you
must have Windows Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0. The included keyboard drivers provide
four characters-per-key input (instead of the normal two
characters-per-key), following our keyboard layout charts. This
provides easy, intuitive input of all characters in the fonts. Complete instructions are
in the User's Manual included with the product. |
|
Windows Me/98/95: The fonts alone may be installed into
Windows Me/98/95, but the keyboard files do not install into or work in
Windows Me/98/95. This means you may install the Unicode-compatible fonts
into Windows Me/98/95 and open files that were created in Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT
using the fonts if you have a compatible, Unicode-enabled program, such as
Microsoft Word 2002/2000/97. In Windows Me/98/95 you will be able to edit
documents that use these fonts in several ways. In Word 2002 you may use
Insert Symbol or a built-in hot key feature to insert Unicode characters.
In Word 2000/97 you may use Insert Symbol or the Linguist’s Software
Word template included with the product. This template includes a macro
which duplicates most of the features of the hot key feature built into Word 2002. Using these
methods you can input characters one at a time in Windows Me/98/95. These
input methods are not as easy as using the keyboard driver in
Windows Vista/XP/2000/NT (see above), but are adequate for very small editing
projects. Complete instructions are
included in the User's Manual included with the product.
|
|
Windows 3.x: This product does not
install into or work with Windows 3.x.
|
|
Printer: The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your
printer.
|
|
Documentation: All documentation,
including a User's
Manual and Keyboard Layout Charts (showing placement of the
characters on the keys), is in Adobe Acrobat™ PDF
format, included on the disk. Users may view the documentation on screen
or print it, using Acrobat
Reader (v 5.0.5 or newer), available free online if you do not already have it.
|
|
Converting files from TransCyrillic
to TransCyrillicU: The TransCyrillic Converter
is available to convert TransCyrillic (ASCII-encoded) Word files to
the TransCyrillicU fonts.
|

Cost: US$ 99.95 for any single
set; $50 for each additional set for Windows
purchased at the same time; $249.95
for TransCyrillic Professional in Unicode for Windows (all sets together) Order

TransCyrillic in
Unicode for Macintosh
TransCyrillic in Unicode for Macintosh includes two keyboard layouts for
use in Mac OS X 10.2 or higher. The keyboards are 1) a phonetic Cyrillic keyboard layout
(based on the US keyboard) providing easy input of all the Cyrillic characters,
including the Old Slavonic characters that are in the font, using deadkey
input; and 2)
a keyboard layout for English and many other Roman-based languages.
Macintosh System Requirements:
| Operating Systems
|
Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) or higher |
|
| Applications
|
Any Unicode-compatible application. |
|
The only Macintosh applications we are
aware of that support Unicode at this time are Microsoft Word 2004,
Mellel, InDesign CS, QuarkExpress 7.0,
OpenOffice, Pages, Nisus
Writer Express, TextEdit (included with Mac OS X), Oxygen, and BBEdit. We have
only tested the fonts in Word 2004, Mellel, Nisus Writer Express and TextEdit.
(If you are aware of additional applications please let
us know.)
|
|
Even applications that claim to be Unicode
and OpenType compliant may only support a limited range of Unicode characters or
a limited set of OpenType features. Contact
Linguist's Software about compatibility questions and about the availability of
a non-Unicode version of this product that works in all applications.
|
|
| Notes
|
These fonts are compatible with the Windows
version of TransCyrillic in Unicode. No conversion of files is necessary
when transferring files to Windows if your applications are fully
Unicode-aware and compatible fonts are installed on both systems. |
|
A few rarely-used overstriking accents (not
needed for Russian or other major Cyrillic languages) are provided in
the Unicode Private Use Area of the fonts and are not available from the
keyboards. To input these characters you
can use the Character Palette or the Unicode Hex Input keyboard
(included with Mac OS X). Instructions are provided in the TransCyrillic in
Unicode for Macintosh User's Manual. (The acute accent used for stress
is available directly from the keyboard.) |
|
Converting files from TransCyrillic
to TransCyrillicU: The TransCyrillic Converter
is available to convert TransCyrillic (ASCII-encoded) Word files to
the TransCyrillicU fonts. |
|
Cost: US$ 99.95 for any single
set; $50 for each additional set for
Macintosh purchased at the same time; $249.95

For non-Unicode versions of related fonts, available for both Windows
and Macintosh, see:
The non-Unicode fonts in these products are not interchangeable with
TransCyrillic in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including
Unicode and non-Unicode versions of TransCyrillic, may be
installed on your system (since they have different file and font names)
and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however,
interchangeable.
Do you have Cyrillic II and/or TransCyrillic (ASCII-encoded) files you
need to convert to the new Unicode-encoded fonts in TransCyrillic in Unicode?
See the TransCyrillic Converter for a simple
solution for converting your old files to these new fonts.
Here's what others are saying about TransCyrillic in Unicode:
"I must say
that your installations and explanations are getting much more user friendly. If
a person wants a lot of detail, you've got it, but if not, like me, then you
offer a pretty streamlined procedure with lots of pretty pictures."
Andrew David Kaufman, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA
"I am extremely satisfied with your Unicode-encoded Cyrillic fonts
(TransCyrillic in Unicode for Windows), not only because they enable me to work
out -- and exchange by e-mail -- Word files with all my partners (in Russia and
elsewhere), but also because the TransCyrillicLS keyboard layout, which I can
apply without any difficulty to my AZERTY keyboard, is the most user-friendly
one I have ever used. Again, thank you for your excellent guidance !"
Jean-Paul LACORE, Paris, France
