 AA>     what's new? = ??? ???????


Well, it works differently and strangely on different operational systems.
In my Windows 7 I did it as you said, and I've got "??? ???????" in Reformator 
and a correct Russian text in Notepad.

In short, if such a thing happens there is a simple way to overcome it on all 
systems. But for this you have to set up the keyboard language switch on your 
Windows desktop.

ENG/RUS keyboard switch must appear in the low-right corner of your windows. It 
will allow you type ENG or RUS texts on your _real computer keyboard_ (not 
virtual).

Read it how to set up such a switch. Note that I describe it as it looks in 
Windows 7.

1. Run the Control Panel -> "Clock, Language and region" -> "Change keyboard 
and other input methods." -> "Keyboard and languages" -> Change keyboards-> tab 
General.
2. Add the Russian keyboard (actually you can add as many languages as you 
wish). Go to the tab "Language Bar" and set "docked in the taskbar". Go to 
"Advanced key settings" tab and look for the action "Between languages" -- it 
set up the keys which will switch ENG/RUS input.

If you now have the keyboard switch in your windows try to do this again:

1. go to https://russian.typeit.org/
2. Type some Russian text there using the virtual keyboard.
3. Change keyboard switcher of your computer to "RU". After that select some 
Russian text with your mouse and copy it to the clipboard.
4. Press "From clipboard" In the ReformatorQuoter.

PS:
5. Tell me the result ;-)

Bye, August!
