417. arkymalarky - 10/2/1999 12:27:47 AM PS One browser is Netscape and one is IE. 418. dusty - 10/2/1999 12:52:34 AM _IE.png)
419. dusty - 10/2/1999 12:54:55 AM PE, the post above shows a screen shot of your post in IE, using the Cyrillic(windows) option. The resolution isn't great, but I think it shows that it did not work.
In the next post, I will show what it looks like using Cyrillic(ISO-8859-5)in Netscape. I tried other Cyrillic ooptions, but they looked worse. 420. dusty - 10/2/1999 12:55:45 AM .png)
421. pseudoerasmus - 10/2/1999 1:01:46 AM Dusty, very conscientious of you. Thank you.
Now, be even more conscientious, please. Go to this site, download the Cyrillic font, and try to see whether you can read this:
Z jxtym vyjuj yfckf;lf.cm kfgfnm kj[fyre- yj ntgthm z ckbirjv ecnfk- xnj, ghjljk;fnm c ;tyjq Lbkkjyf=
Hashke was unable to do it.
422. wabbit - 10/2/1999 1:07:43 AM Some of you might find this utility useful. 423. pseudoerasmus - 10/2/1999 1:08:59 AM 
424. pseudoerasmus - 10/2/1999 1:09:31 AM wow, such a large image and the place didn't experience a total meltdown. 425. IrvingSnodgrass - 10/2/1999 1:48:02 AM PE:
That's not a large image at all. It's only about 10% as big as the comic book pages you posted last week. The thing that matters is the file size, not the space it takes up on the screen.
Nice photo, btw. 426. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:04:43 AM arkymalarky
I looked into it a bit, but I found that Bellevue is not a free font. Is that the exact name? Many times, someone creates a free version with a similar name. I'm not sure this is the source of the problem, but:
- I can't check into what might be happening without the font
- If you want to create a website using a font that requires purchase, you won't find many people who can view the results
- Is there a free font that looks similar?
427. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:05:59 AM PE did you take that picture? 428. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:10:04 AM pseudoerasmus
There are 43 fonts at that site under the heading Cyrillic. I'm in the process of trying cyrilic.zip, under Russian Miscellaneous. Is that the one you intended?
429. wabbit - 10/2/1999 2:16:29 AM Dusty (and Hashke),
Get the one under Russian Misc called cyrttf.zip (127 kb). That one worked perfectly for me. 430. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:23:21 AM Oops, my trial graphics editor just ran out of free trials. Time to order it; this will take a while. 431. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:28:07 AM I will check it out PE, but I need to download a new version of PaintShop Pro; it is 13 megs, then I need to install it. 432. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:36:39 AM This is what it looks like with the first font I downloaded:
433. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:49:07 AM This is what it looks like with the second font (cyrttf.zip) I downloaded:
I think this looks better, but not knowing Russian, I'll let the experts opine.
434. dusty - 10/2/1999 2:52:00 AM BTW, I does look better than that on the screen; somewhere between the screen capture, the cropping, the saving as jpeg, the uploading to my website, and the display, something is being lost. I'm not sure what, and anyone with expertise is encouraged to chime in. 435. dusty - 10/2/1999 3:02:30 AM BTW PE, the image you posted is striking, but it is too large for the margins. This is the place to test that, but it would mess up the margins in other threads. A better alternative is to post it as a thumbnail, as follows:
(Click to see image)
The generic form of the command is shown in post 373. (Although use of height and width each equal to 50 will distort any non-square image. I used
80 and 50, respectively, and it is ok to use one, and let the image determine the appropriate value for the other.)
436. dusty - 10/2/1999 3:04:47 AM I think it makes sense to leave the red border around a thumbnail image as a reminder that it is a link, but I think you can remove it my adding "Border="0" " to the link image.
here is a test:
