Cyrillic Font Project

STG worked with the Department of Slavic Languages to convert all course materials (in MS Word) to the same character set mapping. The department had been using Macintosh computers since 1984, but had not standardized on any one Mac font for Cyrillic characters. Department members felt that teaching materials, which are shared among faculty over time, should be standardized. STG developed a simple font converter that maps from the original character sets to a single standard character set, and that converts the Cyrillic parts of an MS Word document. It also handles the conversion of the Word binary to RTF invisibly, so the person performing the conversion doesn't have to know how to do that.
This project was carried out by Eric Perkins, under the supervision of Elli Mylonas.
