TransCyrillic® in Unicode™ provides professional-quality, Unicode-encoded Cyrillic fonts in 7 typestyles in TrueType® format for typing 67 Cyrillic languages (including all languages covered both by our non-Unicode Cyrillic II and our non-Unicode TransCyrillic products). Because the TransCyrillic in Unicode fonts include separate composite forms of each character with each diacritic, every letter shape and diacritic position is perfectly positioned. All fonts also include all Old Slavonic characters currently supported by the Unicode standard, the Latin 1 character set and additional Latin characters and diacritics covering many other languages.

Font Samples
A single font sample is shown below for each font. Links to additional font samples will open in a new browser window and will give you a greater appreciation for the beauty and variety of these fonts. These additional samples will show you all characters in the fonts, including the Latin characters. The samples are on separate pages because the graphics are quite large and will open slowly if you have a slow dial-up connection. Note that these samples are low-resolution web samples (graphics). The actual fonts will always print to the highest quality your printer is capable of producing and will be consistently beautiful.

TransCyrillic in Unicode for Windows
TransCyrillic in Unicode for Windows
TransCyrillic in Unicode for Windows includes three keyboard layouts that provide four-characters-per-key input in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000 and NT4. The keyboards are 1) a phonetic Cyrillic keyboard layout (based on the US keyboard) providing easy input of all the Cyrillic characters, including the Old Slavonic characters that are in the font, using deadkey input (with both OpenType and dead key input of the stress mark available); 2) a keyboard layout for English and many other Roman-based languages using the OpenType input method; and 3) a keyboard layout for English and many other Roman-based languages using the dead key input method.
The OpenType input method allows a more logical typing order. You type the letter followed by the accent or other diacritic, followed by another diacritic, if required. The character is formed as you type with all diacritics perfectly positioned. For applications that do not support OpenType input we have included full dead key support. First you type the key representing the accent or diacritic, and nothing visible happens on the screen. Then you type the letter you want the diacritic to be placed over or around, and the keyboard driver puts the pre-composed, perfectly positioned letter with its diacritic into your document. Both methods produce beautiful text. With OpenType you type letter, then its accent; with dead key you type accent key, then its letter. See the System Requirements below for more information.
Windows System Requirements:
- Operating Systems
- Requires Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, or NT 4.0.
- Applications
- Requires any Unicode-compatible application, such as Microsoft Word 2013, 2010, 2007, 2003, 2002, or 2000 is compatible. The free office suites LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org are compatible. Adobe® InDesign® and QuarkXPress 7.0 and newer are compatible. (Microsoft Office applications are all compatible, except PowerPoint 2003 and earlier.)
- Older, non-Unicode applications such as QuarkXPress 6.5 and earlier, PageMaker, and FrameMaker are not compatible with these fonts. WordPerfect (tested through version 12) is not compatible with these fonts.
- OpenType input method: The fonts include a stress mark that may be typed using either dead key input or OpenType input. The OpenType method requires a Microsoft Office 2003 or newer application or LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org 3.0, and is not known to be supported by any other application. The English keyboard providing OpenType input also these same applications. Users of any other Unicode-compatible application are fully supported by the dead key input method.
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 and earlier is not compatible with TransCyrillic in Unicode for Windows. All text is changed to the Arial font, whether typed with the keyboard, input using Insert Symbol, or pasted from Word using the Windows clipboard. PowerPoint users should type their text in Word or another Unicode-compatible application, and save the text as a graphic for import into PowerPoint. Users can also use WordArt to create their text. To do this in PowerPoint go to Insert, Picture, WordArt, and type your text, formatting it as desired. Alternatively, users can type directly into PowerPoint using our non-Unicode TransCyrillic fonts.
- Notes
- These fonts are compatible with the Macintosh version of TransCyrillic in Unicode. No conversion of files is necessary when transferring files to a Macintosh if your applications are fully Unicode-aware (and fully OpenType-aware if you are using the OpenType keyboards) and compatible fonts are installed on both systems.
- Printer: The fonts will print to any Windows printer at the highest quality allowed by your printer.
- Documentation: All documentation, including a User's Manual and Keyboard Layout Charts (showing placement of the characters on the keys), is in Adobe Acrobat™ PDF format, included on the disk. Users may view the documentation on screen or print it, using Acrobat Reader, available free online if you do not already have it.
- Converting files from TransCyrillic to TransCyrillicU:
- The TransCyrillic Converter is available to convert TransCyrillic (ASCII-encoded) Word files to the TransCyrillicU fonts.
Cost: US$ 99.95 for any single set; $50 for each additional set for Windows purchased at the same time; $249.95 for TransCyrillic Professional in Unicode for Windows (all sets together) Order

For non-Unicode versions of related fonts, available for both Windows and Macintosh, see:
The non-Unicode fonts in these products are not interchangeable with TransCyrillic in Unicode. Both Unicode and non-Unicode fonts, including Unicode and non-Unicode versions of TransCyrillic, may be installed on your system (since they have different file and font names) and may even be used in the same files. They are not, however, interchangeable.
Do you have Cyrillic II and/or TransCyrillic (ASCII-encoded) files you need to convert to the new Unicode-encoded fonts in TransCyrillic in Unicode? See the TransCyrillic Converter for a simple solution for converting your old files to these new fonts.
Testimonials
Here's what others are saying about TransCyrillic in Unicode:
"Thank you very much for your kind response to my request and a much earlier reply than I even dared to hope for. You really shocked me by it. I can see you working overtime, but do you ever sleep? It shows how much you love what you are doing and how very fond and rightfully proud you are of what you created in the Linguist’s Software. Cannot say anything more than "Bravo". Once again with appreciation and best wishes."
J. Frankel, Brock University, Canada
"I must say that your installations and explanations are getting much more user friendly. If a person wants a lot of detail, you've got it, but if not, like me, then you offer a pretty streamlined procedure with lots of pretty pictures."
Andrew David Kaufman, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA
"I am extremely satisfied with your Unicode-encoded Cyrillic fonts (TransCyrillic in Unicode for Windows), not only because they enable me to work out and exchange by e-mail Word files with all my partners (in Russia and elsewhere), but also because the TransCyrillicLS keyboard layout, which I can apply without any difficulty to my AZERTY keyboard, is the most user-friendly one I have ever used. Again, thank you for your excellent guidance !"
Jean-Paul LACORE, Paris, France
