Gentle list members:
I have the following task:
I want to print the original Russian certificate number on the
nationalized
certificate of a Russian radioactive source.
When the operator types in the Russian characters, Russian font is
unavailable. If I say her that she should learn the new standard coding of
Cyrillic like K1251 or KOI-8R she'd shriek.
If she could type fonetically then only few letters like ya, yu would mean
problem.
I have found an ancient coding standard at

named GOST-13052.

I like this code page because ABCD are in their normal place, so everybody
med GOST-13052.

I like this code page because ABCD are in their normal place, so everybody
can read that I wanted to type CIRK or NATASA in Russian.

That means typing does not need redefinition of keyboard,
and its plain text version is readable and logical unlike the KOI-8
standards and the new Windows code pages.

Where can I find a modern True Type font according to a similar coding,
using the ordinary Ascii Codes in the range 32-127 for Cyrillic letters?
.............
If anybody is interested, I have a txt_to_rtf funcion,
by which I can enter simple subscripts and superscripts using a plain text box, like this:
"H\2^O". The result of the function I can send to Rich text box.
I plan to enter Russian text like that:
"{Rus}GDE TY BYLA NATASA?{/Rus}".
That text remains readable in a plain table where RTF is not available.
