learn_russianA friend of mine recently provided me with this very valuable secret.
Ok, so for those of you who know how to type in Cyrillic and Roman alphabets (and use the shortcut Alt + Shift), and are frustrated with the fact that AIM doesn't support Cyrillic because it ends up showing as vowels with accents, here's a juicy secret:
Go to My AIM - Edit Options - Edit Preferences - Font - Click on Font - Now within this pop-up box, towards the bottom you'll find "Script" and "Western" is selected. Click on the drop-down box and select "Cyrillic" and you'll find that all those vowels are replaced with the actual Russian alphabet.
