4. Choose Latinski (or any other Cyrillic font you prefer).

5. Close the Views control panel.
Most Cyrillic application programs display Cyrillic correctly after
you install the Cyrillic Language Kit. If you have an application
program that does not display the menus correctly, follow the
instructions in Chapter 3 to designate Cyrillic as the script for your
Cyrillic program.
v Note: If your computer’s primary language uses the Roman
character set, but is not English, specifying a Cyrillic font in
the Views control panel may cause some difficulties in reading
file and folder names that use Roman characters. This is
because the Cyrillic fonts do not contain umlauts, accents, and
some other non-English Roman characters and symbols. v
If you have more than one language kit installed, you may want to
continue using the Geneva font, since a Cyrillic font will not
contain the characters for other language kits.
Choose Latinski.
Displaying Cyrillic filenames correctly
If you have files and folders with Cyrillic names on your computer,
you may find that your system can’t correctly display these Cyrillic
names. This can happen if the font your system currently uses for
file and folder names is not appropriate for Cyrillic.
For example, many people use the Geneva font for file and folder
names, but Geneva contains only characters for English and other
languages that use the Roman character set (such as French,
Spanish, and German).
The Latinski font installed with the Cyrillic Language Kit contains
Cyrillic characters as well as the most commonly used Roman
characters. You can view Cyrillic file and folder names correctly by
setting the Views control panel to Latinski.
Follow these steps to set the Views control panel:
1. Choose Control Panels from the Apple (K) menu.
2. Open the Views control panel.
3. Press the “Font for views” pop-up menu.
