The term Russification once meant adopting the Russian language
or some other Russian attribute whether by non-Russian communities.
(Source: Wikepedia.)
In the computer age, it means to be able to view and type in Russian on
one's computer, including the abilities to read Web pages, send and receive
e-mail, translate Russian documents into English and vice versa, and more.
This site once provided information on how to view Cyrillic in the different
operating systems, but the last update was for Windows 98. Because
of the advances in software, plus the huge number of other sites providing
similar information, please use the links below if you cannot view Cyrillic
on your PC or MAC. Every link was working as of 17 November 2007.
Sadly, a large number of these sites have not been updated for a long time
either. Good luck!

Fonts
If a font you download does not show up after you install it in Windows
XP (and, I suppose, Vista), do this: Open Control Panel and click
on "Fonts." Right click on the font you just installed and click
"Properties." Near the bottom of that window (in Windows XP, at least)
it will tell you it may not be safe. Click the box to allow you to
use it. It should appear now in Word or other software applications.
