      MSGID: 2:221/360.0 5e3f0dbe       REPLY: 2:221/360.0 5e3e2bc4       PID: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird       CHRS: CP866 2       TZUTC: 0200       Hi, August Abolins! ->Alexander Koryagin       I read your message from 08.02.2020 06:32               AA> But in R/Q it looks like:               AA> what's new? = ??? ???????                     Well, it works differently and strangely on different operational systems.       In my Windows 7 I did it as you said, and I've got "??? ???????" in Reformator       and a correct Russian text in Notepad.              In short, if such a thing happens there is a simple way to overcome it on all       systems. But for this you have to set up the keyboard language switch on your       Windows desktop.              ENG/RUS keyboard switch must appear in the low-right corner of your windows.       It will allow you type ENG or RUS texts on your _real computer keyboard_ (not       virtual).              Read it how to set up such a switch. Note that I describe it as it looks in       Windows 7.              1. Run the Control Panel -> "Clock, Language and region" -> "Change keyboard       and other input methods." -> "Keyboard and languages" -> Change keyboards->       tab General.       2. Add the Russian keyboard (actually you can add as many languages as you       wish). Go to the tab "Language Bar" and set "docked in the taskbar". Go to       "Advanced key settings" tab and look for the action "Between languages" -- it       set up the keys which will switch ENG/RUS input.              If you now have the keyboard switch in your windows try to do this again:              1. go to https://russian.typeit.org/       2. Type some Russian text there using the virtual keyboard.       3. Change keyboard switcher of your computer to "RU". After that select some       Russian text with your mouse and copy it to the clipboard.       4. Press "From clipboard" In the ReformatorQuoter.              PS:       5. Tell me the result ;-)              Bye, August!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2020              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 203/0 221/1 6 360 227/114 229/426 1014 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 382/147 423/81 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
