Talk:Russian/Useful Words and Expressions

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

I have converted the first several phrases to use Unicode stress marks instead of "bold." It's more consistent with traditional textbooks and references, but the down side is that cut-and-paste can be tricky. However, if no-one objects I will convert the rest of this page, and then the other articles in this module. Fleminra 07:29, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Yes, it's probably better like tha't. But it would be nicer if the accent could be placed ón the chàracter. Maybe there is an easy way to it like thís? Guaka 14:04, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Yes the rendering of "combining diacritical marks" is less than ideal, at least on Linux+Gecko. IE does a slightly better job, at least with combinations for which pre-composed characters exist:

'a' + U+0301 = á (good, reduces to 'á')
'ю' + U+0301 = ю́ (not so good)

Anyway I'll go ahead with the change, and hope that font rendering gets better in the future. Fleminra 21:33, 15 Mar 2004 (UTC)
