Technical note: 10107 Created: 05/11/95 by Topher Last modified: 07/07/95 by Brian Product: Netscape Navigator 1.1 Operating system: Windows
If you need to use a Cyrillic font with the Netscape Navigator 1.1, then first obtain the font "iso-8859-1" from ftp://ftp.elvis.ru/ and install it on your Windows system, so that it appears in your Windows "Fonts" control panel. Then edit yourNETSCAPE.INIfile to add these two lines:[INTL] Font0=iso-8859-1,K8 Arial,12,K8 Arial,10If there is already an "[INTL]" section and a "Font0=" line in yourNETSCAPE.INI, then just modify the "Font0=" line to look like the one given above. Alternatively, you could just go into the "Fonts and Colors" part of the Netscape Preferences dialog, and select the proper fonts and encoding there. This procedure will also work with other fonts. (Note that the Font1 setting is used for Japanese fonts.)
