Follow what Alfred said. The two most common are Cyrillic (Windows) and Cyrillic (KOI8-R). Once in a great while you may get some weird font like Baltic or something like that but most will be these two. Easiest way to tell the difference before you decode, Cyrillic Windows looks smaller that KOI8....does to me anyway. I've gotten to the point where I can look at the garble and I immediatly know what font their in. Ok, that's scary.

You know how to set up your computer to type in Cyrillic?

I've reviewed a post from "John K" back in Jan 2002.  It's a bit confusing to a non computer guy like me.  I'll give it a try but if anyone has a simple solution I'd appreciate hearing about it.  Thanks

if you're using a microsoft product, try:

click on view on the menu bar
click on encoding on the drop down menu
click on cyrillic (windows - should work if not try another.)

Netscape should be similar.

By the way, this is explained many times in the archives.
