Subject: Correction on installing Apple Cyrillic fonts
All,
It has been pointed out to me that I was incorrect in describing one step in
the installation of the Apple Cyrillic fonts.
After double-clicking on the SFNT resource (if present) to determine the "real"
name of the font, or looking at the font itself for the three without an SFNT
resource, I said that one should then SINGLE-click on the FOND resource, to
change the name from unreadable (actually Cyrillic) to English.
What is actually required is to DOUBLE-click on the FOND resource, then
SINGLE-click to select the one item inside, THEN use Command-I to change the
name.
My apologies for the error, and thanks to Frank Carroll for pointing it out.
Doug
