I cannot Read Cyrillic Characters..

Ongeboren · 04-17-2006, 05:13 AM

If I surf on a cyrillic site, I only see some rare symbols , which cannot be read.
how could I cyrillisize my System to be able to read those .. ?

Check if you have x11-fonts-cyrillic installed.

http://slackware.it/en/pb/package.ph...6.8.2-noarch-3 and use installpkg to install.

if you have a win partition and windows installed just go to windows/fonts right click on font and install them or if not,
download russian fonts and do the same right click on font file , install

or copy your rassian (downloaded or from win) fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts

have fun!!

_gnomm: I copied everything in c:/WINDOWS/Fonts to /usr/local/share/fonts, but I still can't read cyrillic characters on web pages!
I have the x11-fonts-cyrillic package installed and I'm using Slackware 10.2

There is a good thread on installing fonts here:

I can now see Cyrillic characters (could not before I did this). But I still can't read them
