System Configuration - WWW Browsers
|
- Overview
- In order to use the instructions which follow it is necessary for you
to have fonts installed from BRAMA
along with a WWW browser.
Netscape WWW browsers are available from Netscape.
Microsoft WWW browsers are available from Microsoft.
- To configure Netscape versions 3, 4 to show webpages in
Ukrainian
- Netscape Version 3
- From the drop-down menus click Options, then
- click General Preferences, then
- click Fonts
(here you assign fonts to particular character set encodings.) To assign
fonts to KOI8 and CP1251 encodings, you
- Select Cyrillic from the For the Encoding drop-down
list box
- At Use the Proportional Font, click Choose Font and
select either ER Bukinist 1251 or ER Univers 1251; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- At Use the Fixed Font, click Choose Font and
select ER Kurier 1251; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- Select Cyrillic(KOI8-R) from the For the Encoding drop-down
list box
- At Use the Proportional Font, click Choose Font and
select either ER Bukinist KOI-8 or ER Univers KOI-8; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- At Use the Fixed Font, click Choose Font and
select ER Kurier KOI-8; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- Click Ok to confirm your choices and close the dialog box.
Some pages in Ukrainian or Russian are set to automatically switch to the
proper encoding. For those that aren't you need to select the proper
encoding. The steps for this are:
- From the drop-down menus click Options, then
- select Document Encoding, then
- select either Cyrillic(Win1251) or Cyrillic(KOI8-R)
In addition, since it might not be readily apparent as to which encoding is being used
you might need to try one and then the other. Lastly, some web
pages specify specific font faces; if you don't have those fonts faces installed you
won't be able to see the pages properly.
- Netscape Version 4
- From the drop-down menus click Edit, then
- Preferences, then
- Fonts
- Select Cyrillic from the For the Encoding drop-down
list box
- For Variable Width Font Select either
ER Bukinist 1251 or ER Univers 1251; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- For Fixed Width Font Select ER Kurier 1251; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- Select User Defined from the For the Encoding drop-down
list box
- For Variable Width Font Select either
ER Bukinist KOI-8 or ER Univers KOI-8; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- For Fixed Width Font Select ER Kurier KOI-8; for size it is
recommended to select a number between 9 and 12, depending on your
preference.
- Click Ok to confirm your choices and close the dialog box.
Some pages in Ukrainian or Russian are set to automatically switch to the
proper encoding. For those that aren't you need to select the proper
encoding. The steps for this are:
- From the drop-down menus click View, then
- select Encoding, then
- select Cyrillic(Win1251) for pages in CP1251 or User Defined
for webpages in KOI8. Netscape 4 does have a setting for Cyrillic KOI8-R,
however, currently it doesn't work properly for most variants of KOI8 for Ukrainian.
In addition, since it might not be readily apparent as to which encoding is being used
you might need to try one and then the other. Lastly, some web
pages specify specific font faces; if you don't have those fonts faces installed you
won't be able to see the pages properly.

To configure MS Internet Explorer (MSIE) 2, 3, 4
- MSIE Version 2
This version of MSIE does not have any capablities for using Cyrillic fonts.
We recommend you download a newer version of a web browser from either
Netscape or
Microsoft.
- MSIE Version 3
- On the View menu, click Options
- On the General tab, click the fonts you want in the
Proportional Font and Fixed-Width Font boxes
Tips:
-
Some pages use predetermined colors and fonts instead of the ones
you specify.
- Microsoft's Native Language Support (NLS) module (available for no
cost from their
website for Win95 and WinNt) provides basic fonts and installation
programs which work better with their browsers.
- MSIE Version 4
In development ...

- To configure AOL Browsers to show webpages in
Ukrainian
In AOL's Windows 3.1 WWW browser the fonts are hard-coded and cannot be changed.
However, you can access the web through AOL using another browser. It is recommended
that you install one from Netscape.

These pages in their conception owe a great deal to the work of
Matvey Palchuk's
Russification of Macintosh and
Zenon Feszczak's
Ukrainianization of Macintosh pages.
Much thanks to them.
