Russian Alphabet in P3

John

You can change the font - but I think it applies to ALL activity descriptions and fields not individual lines.

Got to View, Table Font & Row, then click the Font button and select whatever font you want. This applies the same font to all rows but NOT to the headers (the grey headings, Act ID, Act Name, etc)

Don’t know how to change one row. Maybe someone else does...

Have you tried an email to the help desk - uktech@primavera.com for the UK help desk. They are pretty good - need the usual info, serial number etc. This may help you out over the time difference.

Good Luck

Had to do this for a major project we are just completing in Sakhalin (couple $BB US). Had both ExPat English speakers and Russians who needed to be able to read the schedule at the same time.
Added a Custom Data Item - named it RDesc (or whatever).
Find on the web and load XSESCYR.TTF to your Windows computer. Look around with google - you can probably find the file.
In p3 - Go to Format-Fonts. Add the XSESCYR.TTF font to one of your selections.
Add a column to your Gannt view with the custom data item.
Right click on the column header. In the dialog box that pops up - alter the Data Font field by right clicking on it. Choose the XSESCYR font.

Have your Russian interpreter sit down and re-key in all the descriptions over into the new column.
There you have it. After doing this - my Russian friend could no longer claim that he "couldn’t read the schedule"

Good Luck

P.S.
Haven’t yet tried this with P5. Given my general impressions about that product - don’t count on it. Primavera screwed just about everything up with it - probably also tossed the ability to do this neat little trick.

Thanks TJ, having problems finding the XSESCYR.TTF file mind you, any tips of best place to find.

Funnily enough my problem was for Sakhalin job as well, I am down in Korea at the moment so that may give you clue as to what particulat Sakhalin Project.

Are you enjoying Yuzhno, I has good time but did not want to take the family hence Korea for now.
