Troubleshooting
This section contains information about some common problems
you may encounter while working on a computer that supports
Cyrillic.
I see odd characters that I can’t read in some of my file
and folder names.
The font your system is using for file and folder names may not
contain any Cyrillic characters. Cyrillic names can’t be properly
displayed unless your system uses a font that contains Cyrillic
characters. Choose Latinski in your Views control panel (see the
section “Displaying Cyrillic Filenames Correctly” in Chapter 2).
The Latinski font contains Cyrillic characters as well as the most
commonly used Roman characters. You can usually view Cyrillic
and Roman file and folder names correctly by setting the Font for
views to Latinski.
If you still see odd characters on your screen, read on.
Chapter 5
I changed my Views control panel to the Latinski font, but
I still see odd characters in my Cyrillic application
program.
Your system may not recognize your Cyrillic program as Cyrillic.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 3 of this manual to register
your program as Cyrillic.
I changed my Views control panel to the Latinski font,
and now I can’t read some of my non-Cyrillic file and
folder names.
If you have file or folder names that contain non-English Roman
characters, such as accents or umlauts, they will not be correctly
displayed after you change the Views control panel to the Latinski
font. A few other characters, such as typographic quotation marks
and ellipses, also will not be correctly displayed. This is because
the Latinski font does not have a complete set of Roman charac-
ters, only the most commonly used ones.
In the Views control panel, choose a font that will correctly
display your non-Cyrillic file and folder names. Then use non-
Cyrillic names for all your files and folders, even those that
contain Cyrillic.
