What am I doing > wrong here? Which font are you using? It looks to me like you're using a font that doesn't have any Cyrillic character glyphs. So far as I know, the standard font files do not contain Cyrillic characters. The "U-*" (e.g., U-PR) font files do, however. (They also contain things like "ō", which I use.) If you are using a font with Cyrillic characters, then I have no idea what's up. :-( In that case, you might want to post a minimal .mom file that exhibits this problem, so that the denizens here can look at it and suggest remedies. Hope this helps. --Dale -- Imagine if every Thursday your shoes exploded if you tied them the usual way.
