Hi - I have been writing some material on specific Jewish metrikal
records >from Bialystok and am now trying to find a Cyrillic font which I
can buy / access / download / use which includes the *entire* set of
Cyrillic cursive (script) letters.

I have access to the printed Cyrillic font and most of the cursive
(script) letters through Microsoft Word for Mac. But, while my
Microsoft Word does includes most of the Cyrillic cursive letters, for
some reason, my software does *not* include the cursive capital "Ge" which
can be found in Shea and Hoffman's "In Their Words: Translation Guide for
Russian".

The Cyrillic cursive, capital "Ge" which they have in their book looks
just like the "Ge" listed in 19th century handwritten records >from
Bialystok. The one which comes with MS Word for Mac does not. (It's
just a capital version of the printed "Ge," not the cursive letter.)

I've scoured the Internet and can't find it in font libraries which
offer different language fonts.

I just wrote to one of the authors of the aforementioned book to see if
they can provide details on their font. In the meantime, perhaps one of
you can lead me to a source?

Thank you.

MODERATOR: Perhaps we might prevail upon Nancy to post, here, a
summary of any useful information she receives.

Hello

In a first step I suggested to Nancy, directly to her, to have a look at
http://allfont.net/cyrillic/ .

Then I self downloaded just one example of cursive (pay attention . . *not*
italic !) cyrillic fonts, namely Cyrillic Parsek I found very easy to read
and very close to a handwritten text. Moreover I sent to her an example of
cyrillic text I self wrote with a.o. the character "gué " cursive uppercase.
Unfortunately it's impossible to reproduce here all those texts because
using plain text is mandatory.

Of course I'm ready to discuss the thread with other peoples, also to
learn >from them about other possibilities - I'm sure there are, because I
didn't spent a big time to my research.

Kind regards,

In response to Nancy Levin's question about Cyrillic cursive capital
"Ge": Check out the following Russian Alphabet site, which has print,
cursive, and sound for each Russian letter.

The fourth one down, left side is "Ge":
