hope you like this better,Ian,I have tried to do it freehand and found an,old style of alphabet, O.o


may not be as clear,as a printed letter,but more to your liking ? :$ 9_9

oh wow,Dave,all that just go,s right over the top of my head lol, :S


I did have a look,at the language bar and only have,UK,English,US,English,and Aust,English,so with win7 over hear thats all they give you,


and some where you ,must have to get others from some were, O.o

Sorry Moni, not my intention ,  all the languages should be available but you do need to dig through settings to add them to the "active list" for selection


Easiest for you would be to use google translate to get the Cyrillic text and then copy paste the text into a wordprocessor and play with the fonts to get something you like.


государственный тракторный завод


That is how I did this which apparently says state tractor factory.

Im pretty sure they had stencils back then so, having a typed sign would be accurate, also calligraphy is an art dating back hundreds of years, I would suggest you keep the typed sign instead of the hand written one, as it looks better and probably is more accurate.

ta Bob,I would think so as well,but what I think is I,used modern,and where that ,what Dave has done is older style,and it dose look better,


in the cyrillic text,I did try find images of old factory to see the style,but google is not real my friend and some times,just dose not give,


the images I,m trying to find, >


thank you both,for your help,and is greatly appreciated,
