Except that you do seem to need Unicode font support, which *does* require fairly recent OS and application versions. None of the first generation of Unicode implementations was without problems.
the unicode issue was an attempt to comply with 19th century orthography of Cyrillic. Modern Russian fonts do not have all the characters that were used in Russian texts in pre-revolutionary times, and when they do have them, they are not accessible via the keyboard or via the Alt-numeric codes. I did insert this one character (yat') into my FM8 document, and it looked great on the screen, but then appeared as a blank space when printed to PDF, or to my HP 5000. Would this not occur in FM10 and Windows 7?
in any case, I solved the issue by using the modern character instead, and printed the book. So far, no one complained...:-) if, and when, I will have to publish a book where access to unicode is a must, then I will consider getting a new machine.
And although there are a few things about Windows 7 that I still find annoying, I am overjoyed every day by the *much* faster start up (~30 seconds to boot as opposed to 4-5 minutes under XP),
I got into the habit of booting up, then go have a cup a coffee, and by the time I was back, the XP was ready to roll.

In all the years that I am running XP, this has never happened to me. -- Matanya Ophee Editions Orphée Inc., 1240 Clubview Blvd. N.
