Cyrillic in Photoshop

Having done a search on the forums it seems to me that Adobe does not support the use of Cyrillic fonts in Photoshop.

Does anyone know is any such support will be forthcoming?

Thanks.

    I don't know what version of Photoshop, Windows or OSX you have, but Photoshop does support Cyrillic if your OS does.

    You must have a font that supports Cyrillic installed on your PC or Mac.

    Minion Pro

    Arial

    Times New Roman

    Microsoft San Serif

    Then Photoshop's Type Tool can enter or paste it in your document.

    I'll assume you already know how to set up your OS for keyboard input of Cyrillic.

    You can download fonts that have specific cyrillic characters, this site has plenty of types. You can even download Aurebesh, which is the font from Star Wars.

      Thanks for that. I'm not familiar with 3rd party font sites and don't know if what they offer is legit or pirated.

        It's legit as far as I know, unless you go to a torrent site you won't get the premium fonts for free anywhere, believe me, I've tried.

          Thank you both for your help.

          I did go to Adobe Support and did not get a resolution and I'll just leave any comments about that unsaid lol.

          I don't actually type in Cyrillic but I do Use Google and Bing to help me translate and copy into Notepad which displays the Cyrillic correctly.

          It is when I paste into Photoshop (which is the current 2017 CC version) when it went wonky for lack of a better word lol.

          I used Cyrillic Fonts link and read the LinoType article with respect to fonts etc.

          One of the fonts it said that can be used with/for Cyrillic is Palatino. I have this on my PC and selected it in Photoshop and lo and behold perfect Cyrillic displayed.

          So once again thank you for the help and I will make sure I keep the article should I want to try other fonts in the future.
