Hello,
I would like to know if some of you can write with "cursive" Cyrillic letters on their keyboard ? I don't mean like handwriting, I mean like "normal computer letters" : some books, documents, subtitles are written with "computer letters" but the form is different. For example : "ето ти" becomes "emo mu" in Bulgarian. And "д" becomes "g", etc... I wanted to get more familiar with this spelling, so I wanted to set it up on my computer, but I don't know if it's possible. I think it could be possible because I saw many book titles and movie subtitles that are written like this. Thanks for your help 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You need a font for that, just google "Cyrillic cursive font". For example, Studio Script seems about right.

I think it depends on how much you want the output to look like handwriting.
If you go for a special Cyrillic font, you can do so as Via Diva suggests, although your output will often look fancier than most people's handwriting (think of cursive on a wedding invitation). Getting Propisi is another option and it tends to resemble "average" handwriting a little more but it isn't free as far as I know. In general when you type in Cyrillic in Word, italicizing the script will make it look like handwriting although you won't usually see the hooks, loops or extra lines (e.g. cursive т often is m but sometimes it can be written with a bar overhead). In addition, letters that can be written in more than one way will be expressed the same way in italicized script. For example when typing in Arial, Calibri or Times New Roman, italicized д will always be ∂ rather than g. Both variants are acceptable in writing although I've been taught that the latter is more common. A free way to get your typed Cyrillic to look like handwriting (including the links and hooks) is to type in Mistral font which is usually included in Office. Both the italicized and non-italicized forms of Mistral look a lot like handwriting although you'd still think that you're dealing with a machine or superhuman penmanship because the letters are so well-aligned and neatly joined even though it doesn't look that fancy. 1 person has voted this message useful |
