Hi you guys

I'm doing a brochure for a client. Well i did some time ago, and now they want it in Russian

I tested it and did a copy/paste from Google translate, just to see if it was possible. It was

However, when i changed the font to helvetica, nothing but pink squares came up

Now my questions is: Is there something i can install that will make it this possible??

Helvetica doesn't have a russian character set standard - that I know of. You need to make sure your typeface does. Otherwise when it maps the unicode, there is nothing there. Square box.

Both Adobe and Linotype have cyrillic helvetica typefaces available, but others should get reasonably close as standard.

edit: it also looks like some windows machines don't like unicode as much. But usually jsut a problem in word/ppt/etc. So not sure if that's a factor.

I can see that i can do it with standart helvetica. I guess that will have to do

What is cyrillic typeface?

Cone - cyrillic is the character set for much of eastern europe and russia. So many typefaces were recut to include those. But not all - many only have them as add-ons - like getting a Small caps set, an expert set, and a narrow, etc.

Aaah, cool. Thanks for enlightning me
