(note: that thing is originaly, was for forums....)
Hello, i wanna tell you about some big problems w/ russian (and ukrainian) translations.
I think those two basic ideas, will show you the problem:
We typed "Привет", but then we get "Ïðèâåò", that's why we using "npuBeT".
and
Everybody hates 8x16 fonts >_<
Let's start from fonts.
All (99.9%) hate them!
Today, i just started modyfing the glyph_04.png thing, so it looks better. But i'm failed... (Well, now i know that it's not 16x16 symbols 😉
You can see what i tryed to make here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqqjkqea1by0z04/glyph_04.png (note: i'm was making it, w/ ukrainian letters too)
Next up is a 8x8 font that haves all new symbols that i add: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8d79ahlr124yp4n/russian_font.png
Ok, now let's talk about that smiles. ЪЫЬ letters can't start word. So they can't be capital. Most people (i mean't all, because font was same for all unofficial translations) used Ы as 🙂 and Ь as 😞. In 8x8 font they both included (as well as normal ones).
My variant also includes: ІіЇїЄєҐґЁ (in ALL russian translations (as i said fonts was same) there was no capital Ё).
Contents of 8x8 font:
АБВГДЕЖЗИЙКЛМНОП
РСТУФХЦЧШЩЪЫЬЭЮЯ
абвгдежзийклмноп
рстуфхцчшщъыбэюя
)(ІіЇїЄєҐґ____Ёё
( _ is nothing. ")(" is smiles.)
And now, after that long background story:
So, what i'm (and many (99.9%) others) want? make russian and ukrainian fonts 8x8 (using given template)!
Next one: Ïðèâåò thing
There is almost nothing to say. Just wanna give you two links that shows how translations worked before (and after) 1.1.

In Windows russian is messed up, unlike the MacOS.
So just fix it, and all will be happy 🙂
P.S. i CAN copy-paste letters one by one, but not type it in.
Sorry for bad English.

Actually, here is given font, not just for fixing the russian, but also ukrainian language.
And that is only 50% duplicate - there is another thing: full russian + ukranian font sheets.
Any russian guy, can say that unofficial fonts are better.
Windows input bug is fixed 🙂
