Sep 7, 2016 8:22 AM in response to yuliyafromkhimkiby Tom Gewecke,Have you already gone to system preferences/keyboard/input sources and used the plus and add buttons to activate a Russian keyboard? If not, do that, and then select Russian in the “flag” menu at the top right of the screen. This is required for you to type Russian with any font.
The Didot font supplied by Apple does not include Cyrillic characters, but there are lots of other fonts that do have them. If you want Didot with cyrillic you will have to look for it yourself on the internet and download and install it.

Sep 7, 2016 8:42 AM in response to yuliyafromkhimkiby PeterBreis0807,Fonts are managed by the OSX System and are held in:
yourusername/Library/Fonts
where "yourusername" is whatever you call yourself on your Mac, and has the little House icon.
You can open and turn off fonts with Font Book, which also can tell you what the font is and show all the letters within the font.

PS As Tom says the Didot in the System covers: Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Catalan, Cornish, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Hawaiian, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Irish, Italian, Kalaallisut, Latvian, Lithuanian, Malay, Maltese, Manx, Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Oromo, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Slovenian, Somali, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Swiss German, Turkish, Zulu and not Cyrilic.
Parachute Fonts makes many Cyrillic fonts but not one specifically called Didot.

Sep 7, 2016 8:43 AM in response to Tom Geweckeby yuliyafromkhimki,Yes, I tried it all! The most interesting is that the famous Cyrillic Didot is quite different from the Origin Latin! Only in Pages, they are identical to the maximum! So I need to find it in the system! iT may be using the most similar, but how to find it? None of the Fonts folder among Russian fonts it is not!

Sep 7, 2016 8:53 AM in response to yuliyafromkhimkiby PeterBreis0807,Paratype makes many Cyrillic fonts including several versions of Didot.
Make sure you get the Opentype versions.

Sep 7, 2016 9:11 AM in response to yuliyafromkhimkiby Tom Gewecke,I think the font you have in red is Didot Bold, which apparently does have cyrlllic even though Didot Regular does not.

Sep 8, 2016 6:18 AM in response to Tom Geweckeby yuliyafromkhimki,Hi, thank you very much for your answers. I understand that the easiest way - to choose a different font. But I'm curious to know what a font looks like, and so is used in Pages No one can answer the question.
As far as I know, none of the types Didot has not Cyrillic version, including Bold. Regular and Bold version is indeed a bit different in Pages. But even with these differences, the font is very necessary to me.
As for the fonts from Paratype, I have found only 2 version didot with Cyrillic version, and both are significantly different from the original

Sep 10, 2016 9:24 AM in response to yuliyafromkhimkiby Tom Gewecke,So did you finally get the answer you needed? Is your Didot Bold the same as mine? It is definitely very strange for the Bold version of a font to have a different character repertoire than the Regular....
