Armenian Freenet Web pages are best viewed and checked for errors with Netscape Communicator. Using different browsers can cause malfunctioning, distortion of the design, and inability to read Java scripts contained in the pages. For example, we have noticed that in MS Internet Explorer 4.0 "User Defined" coding mode, links do not work and the word wrap is distorted.

To view pages written in Armenian, you have to have at least one ArmSCII-8 (Armenian State Standard 166-97) compliant variable font installed in your system (we suggest Arial Armenian) and you have to tune your browser's "User Defined" coding to Armenian.

• Keyboard layout: in order to type in Armenian, in particular while filling in forms, you need a keyboard driver. You may choose one of freeware keyboard drivers here. We prefer working with NLS for Win95 - National (Armenian) Language Support Installer for Windows 95. If you have KDWin95, don't forget to change system fonts to Armenian (see documentation for details).

Armenian Standard Fonts and keyboard layouts for Apple Macintosh

• Download ArmMac-8.sit. It contains ArmNet Times and ArmNet Courier TrueType fonts, and also 2 keyboard layouts: standard computer layout and traditional typewriter layout. Netscape will expand the Stuffit archive automatically for you.
• Select all the files and drop them into System Folder.
• Open Control Panel -- Keyboards.
• Select US-ArmSCII-8 (computer layout) or US-ArmType-8 (typewriter layout). Use CapsLock key to switch between English and Armenian keyboards.

NOTE: The suggested fonts and keyboard layouts for Mac comply to ArmSCII-8 communication standard, thus they are intended only for Internet web browsing and mailing. Using this coding standard for other tasks in MacSystem, (f.ex. word processing or desktop publishing), may cause problems.
