Typing Cyrillic
by Harriet Bazley
How do I type Cyrillic into Netsurf? I have the necessary fonts for
the browser to *display* it, but I can't, for example, type a Russian
word into a Google search box or quote a line of Russian poetry in my
blog. (I'm pretty sure I have managed it in the past by the incredibly
laborious technique of searching using transliterated Latin text for a
Web page containing the relevant word in the right case and
capitalisation and copying and pasting the text from one window to
another, but the process is rather like trying to compose a letter from
words cut out of the newspaper!)

#5345 keeps scanning the fonts
by Paul Sprangers
Dear developers,
The latest build (#5345) keeps scanning the active font folders at each
start up and quits with an error before ending it. I had to revert to #5342
to get rid of this behaviour.
Pi4 / RISC OS 5.29 (19-Feb-21) and some large unicode fonts.
Switching the unicode fonts off avoids the error, but NetSurf will still
keep scanning the fonts at each new boot.
Kind regards,
Paul

Upgrade to NetSurf 3.10
by Thura
Hi I am trying to set up an old Strong ARM Risc PC with RISCOS ver 4.39 to connect to the Internet. I have never used one of these machines before. It did connect to the Internet back in 2016. Unable to do so now. It has NetSurf ver 3.5 (6th April 1016).
There is no cd-rom drive and the 3.5" floppy drive is not working. The PC boots and the hard drive appears to be fine. The problem is getting Netsurf upgraded without Internet. Is it possible to get a connection via the old version of Netsurf that is currently installed?
Warning from NetSurf when the old version starts - "No domain name servers are configured, so only browsing local files will be possible. Use Configure to set your name servers(s)"
Could someone please guide me through this set up?

The obvious question is "where do you live" There maybe someone nearby who
can help.

This looks like your networking has not been set up correctly, so is
nothing to do with NetSurf itself. You will need to get in to network
configuration to see what the settings actually are. Double click on
!Boot, and then in the configuration window that opens go in to
Network. Check the settings and report here again if necessary.
