Russify OS/2

Fonts and Keyboard Switchers
I tested two OS/2 russification packages. One is baucyr.zip.
Download it, unzip it, run install.cmd and you get cyrillic fonts (1251 and 866) for Windowed OS/2 screens, MS DOS screens and keyboard switchers.
Note #1: Save files dspres.dll, times.fon, helv.fon, misc.fon, sysmono.fon, courier.fon from \os2\dll directory. This package replaces them, so that if you do not like the fonts, you can restore original system fonts.
Note #2: This package does not russify Full Screen OS/2 session.

Another OS/2 russification package is cyrdrvfn.zip. Download it, unzip it, run ddinstal, point it to unzipped stuff, install and you get Presentation Manager, DOS, and Windowed OS/2 screen fonts and keyboard switcher. Details:
(1) Save files dspres.dll, times.fon, helv.fon, misc.fon, sysmono.fon, courier.fon from \os2\dll directory. This package replaces them, so that if you do not like the fonts, you can restore original system fonts.
(2) Unzip the zip file into tmp directory, start DDINSTALL and point it to this directory. Select OS/2 v2.1 GA Cyrillic Fonts and push Install.
(3) Reboot the system and enjoy cyrillic fonts.
(4) If you want to uninstall, restore files saved in (1).

Adobe PostScript fonts
Download file pscyrfnt.zip, unzip it, go to OS/System.SystemSetup.FontPalette.EditFont.Add and add the fonts from the unziiped stuff. You may have to restart FontPalette (or the whole system) to see the fonts.
These fonts can be used in Presentation Manager and Win OS/2.
