Does anyone know how I can take text a customer gave me in an email that is in Russian and use it in one of my design programs. When I copy and past I just get question marks in both Illustrator and Flexi?

If I'm not mistaken, you would need to change your language settings and you may also need to have the font needed (requested) with Russian glyphs. Another thing you can do is re-type the glyphs in Illustrator using the glyph chart tool and you would need a font with the Russian glyphs included. MyFonts does sell some fonts with both English & Russian glyphs (Russian alts) for the American market. Any font from Paratype comes to mind. Hopefully that will help some.
I better learn all I can about this one ....with the ever increasing Russian community growth around here, I can't believe I've not been faced with more than one like request. Aargh!

I think if you just add Russian language in windows it will auto update couple of fonts (arial, times new roman cyr) to have Russian letters. You should be able to simply copy / paste Russian text into Illi / flexi using arial font. Let me know if you need more help, I can send you an ai / eps with your text in it.

Thanks i found a solution I just used Character Map and retyped it then copy past into illy doesn't work in flexi. Covert to outline save then take that into flexi. Long way around but it worked. Now I am faced with one that wants Chinese. Urrrg
