MOSCOW REGULAR (v.06)
====================

Mark Crislip's Cyrillic fonts have kept me going until now, but 
unfortunately his creations have been based on Times. We're doing 
signage for a Moscow hotel, and our equipment is by Gerber, so 
what we have for a Cyrillic output face is Gerber's Consta 
Cyrillic (I _know_ a setup with Dynacadd would blow it away, but 
unfortunately I have little pull with that department.) Gerber's 
is a sans-serif face, which looks like a mildly condensed 
Helvetica.

My "Moscow Regular" is a Calamus simulation of that Gerber font, 
but with similar keyboard positions (thhough not in all cases) to 
Crislip's Cyrillic fonts. Gerber seems to treat anything other 
than English as dingbats, and apparently randomly assigns 
characters to keys. One of the advantages of Mark's Cyrillic is 
that, for example, for the Russian equivalent of "Elevator," one 
need only type "Lift." With Gerber's Signmakers, one would have 
to constantly cross-reference the character list.

UPDATE v.06 18 Aug./91:
----------------------

I thought that v.05 was the final one, but I goofed in the 
uppercase backwards "N" ("I," I think.) That's been repaired.
