There was a time when we learned Russian in schools. If it doesn't bother you to upload the document somewhere, I can look through it and try to help. You can saend me a link to it in a personal message. I'd be glad to tell me exact places where you have problems, at least few of them.

The majority of the document is in Russian.

I am experiencing great difficulty with a pdf document with Cyrillic characters, in that the characters are not displaying correctly. In there place, I'm just seeing random Latin letters (sometimes accented), together with other unknown typographical characters. Oddly enough however, the guide to the Cyrillic alphabet which proceeds the main lessons displays as it should. I've contacted the company, and today they sent me a replacement document which displays exactly the same. Therefore I'm beginning to suspect its something with my system (either font-related, or somehow the plug-in which detects Assistive technology is interfering with the document (if that's possible). I'd be very surprised if that is the case, however ICT scenarios have never failed to amaze me yet! I'm thinking of trying the document on another system without a Screen Reader or getting someone to inspect it on my current machine with JFW unloaded, however so far the opportunity hasn't presented itself. I'm on Vista, with the latest version of Adobe Reader, and JFW 13 with all updates applied. AS far as I can make out, all necessary support is installed with Vista to cater for Cyrillic script. Any help/suggestions appreciated. Mark
