Now modified in the saddle, and handlebar department. Surprisingly
comfortable bikes just astonishingly high maintenance (2 sets of rear

around ten spokes. In my partner's case she had four spokes replaced
under guarantee and since then I have replaced one.

Serbian is completely phonetic. Unfortunately it is completely
phonetic with two different alphabets, both in common use.

Not so different to Katakana vs Hiragana. And that's before you get to the hard part. ;-) Not to mention there's a fair amount of Latin lettering around, which is a further two alphabets (given the difference between many upper and lower case letters). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_writing_system Best wishes, Rick.

The funniest part is that the road (name) signs are in cyrillic, and
the same names are in latin on the street maps.
(Glad I can read cyrillic, though the extra letters over Russian
confused me until I consulted wikipedia).
Is there any way of entering Cyrillic on RISC OS? (On Linux there is a
phonetic cyrillic keyboard layout, that can be switched.)

I just tried (RISC OS 5, RPCEmu) stuff like *Keyboard Russia and *Co. Territory Russia etc etc but to no avail. Mmmm... Best wishes, Rick.

(On Linux there > is a phonetic cyrillic keyboard layout, that can be switched.) EFF (Electronic Font Foundry) sell proper Cyrillic fonts (Times & Helvetica versions, i.e. serif and sans-serif) together with a keyboard module to switch between Latin & Cyrillic versions. They're high quality fonts and the keyboard module came with a helpful layout of where all the Cyrillic keys are to be found on a keyboard. (Somewhat different from the old days when you had to remove the innards of a typewriter and swap them for a Cyrillic version!) But also see on comp.sys.acorn.announce of 17 Nov: Paul Spranger's notice about !KeyMap update. I know that Jon Robinson has been active in developing a facility to do what you require.

Thanks looking at it now, (though *require* is a bit too strong a work
to describe my case.)
