I do have them displayed by NetSurf, but I can't remember how I set
that up. You need the font 'Cyberbit', which is *huge*. With that
installed, I can cut and paste Cyrillic text from within NetSurf itself,
but I can't usefully enter it from the keyboard, e.g. for a search in
https://www.multitran.com/dictionary/russian-english/
I tried setting up Paul Sprangers' !Keymap and !Dict, but never got Web
search working with any of the character maps provided, although I did
at some point in that process acquire a Bukinist.KO18 and Bukinist.1251
font which can be used along with !Keymap to type using a standard
Russian keyboard layout in RISC OS applications. (My Russian
touch-typing is incredibly laborious, but just about usable; attempting
to transcribe Unicode Cyrillic text viewed on the Web into editable form
in a document, as opposed to being able to cut and paste it from the
browser window, is so impractical that it is actually much faster to
copy it out by hand and work in manuscript.)
I've just run !Chars, and it is showing Cyrillic characters in all the
positions above ASCII 128; however *Keyboard and *Country are already
reporting "UK" when I check, and clicking on the Cyrillic characters
displayed in the !Chars window doesn't actually type the letters
currently shown in the window but the 'normal' Latin-1 accented
characters at those positions instead. So I have thoroughly confused my
configuration somehow.
If I reboot, the double-quote will probably have moved back onto the @
key....
