Yes, you can remap the font but you'll also need to replace the
Unicode characters in the incoming file with the remapped ones.
Simple, but requires quite a lot of search-and-replace. Do it once and
record it to a macro, then you can repeat it later with a single
click.

Hi folks,

Maybe you can help, but I suspect not.

I have previously worked in Russian using the standard crylic font with 
Doze. However I have recieved files which are set in Arial using the 
extended character set.

Is there anyway I can use these in VP. Can I use a Gabor font utility to 
remap to something I can use?

Thanks for your help

Russell

Back then, you used ANSI cyrillic fonts (koi-r or some Windows
codepage), and all Russian letters were below 256. Nowadays, you
receive Unicode texts and you have to transcode them to use with the
old fonts (or newly created fonts according to the old codepages).

Hi Russel,
I worked on few books with russian language.
In my opinion there is simplier way, maybe it worked just for my case 
but maybe it will help you too
i worked with word 97 that time i had few different files each with 
other cyr font.
so i opened it in word and changed font in whole document to Garamond 
cyr which i used for that book and saved as rtf ... it changed the 
document to file which wasn`t possible to change the font in word later, 
but ventura did import it correctly
if you will try it this way, try but keep the original file untouched
