I want to publish a book with Blurb. They don't have Russian fonts, so I have to type the text in Russian in Notes in my iPad, send it to my e-mail box, and then open the e-mail box in Mac, and copy and paste the text into the book template of Blurbs. I don't know how to make a Russian keyboard in Mac to be able to type quickly. I asked about it in the Apple store, and they showed me how to find a Russian keyboard in the net, but it takes much time to type using a screen keyboard, and the texts also cannot be copied and pasted, when they are in Russian. They are erased when I press 'command+C", and all I have is a single letter 'c' instead. No problems with texts in English. Maybe Russian is not supported for copying and pasting?:(
I suggest you activate the Russian keyboard that is on every mac and just try typing directly into blurb.
Go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and check the box for Russian, plus the box for Show Input Menu in Menu Bar, plus the box for Keyboard Viewer. Then go to the "flag" menu at the top right of the screen and select Russian and type. Use the Keyboard Viewer selected from the same menu to see which key does what.
Thank you so much, Tom! I appreciate your help! :)
