Harriet has kindly sent me her Cyrillic font. This has the complete
alphabet, using all the keys from QWERTY... to ... NM<>? inclusive.
It's a nice chunky "BOLD" font; but I haven't yet sussed how to
access punctuation marks, etc., without changing font to Times
Roman and back every time I want a dot or a comma! A Standard
non-BOLD version would also be nice.

I have several fonts from EFF, and they are pretty good: notably
Classical Greek and Classical Hebrew.

A former colleague of mine retired to rural Bulgaria, so a Cyrillic
font for typing the address on the envelope is useful. If I ever want
the Bible in Russian (trad or mod), then it comes complete with the
font. ATM I have no need for this.

Your comments about Skyfall are accurate. I wonder if they fell
from the sky like Diana the goddess of the Ephesians (Acts 9:35);
or just off the back of a lorry.
