I have one program that has text in Petersburgctt font. in my word
document, I am writing a booklet in Russian times new roman font. So I
copy the Petersburgcct text and paste into my word document. Then I
select that text (in word doc) and then select times new roman font, but the
result is gibberish. I tried selecting a times new roman font in the first
program, but when I copy and paste in my document it always appears as
Petersburgctt font? Any ideas?

I added language suport and in the task bar can switch from russian to
english.
the fonts are not from your web site, I got them from win98 cd.
I am not using neither win1251 or KOI8-R fonts. When I type the english
"f" letter I get the russian "a".

You did not tell us what version of MS Word do you have -
Word 97? Word 2000/XP? They are different in this area...

As far as I understand, PetersburgCTT is a Windows-1251 font made by
Paragraph (http://www.paratype.ru).
Please try the solutions for your problem (i.e. Macro EEfonts if you
have Word 2000/XP or another method, #2 if you have Word 97)
on my site - see Chapter _1_ of my section "Unicode-related issues".

Dear lbbs,

Try to save a file from your program having Petersburgctt font
as a .txt file into some folder. Then open it in MS-Word, but before
clicking the "Open" button in MS-Word open form, click drop-down menu
in the bottom of the open form ("Files of Type") and choose: "Encoded Text Files"
MS-Word must recognize your font automatically or show you a
dialog form. Choose readable option and click "OK".
Another way is to select "Recover Text from any Files" in the same
drop-down menu.
If both fails, try to export the text from your program with
Petersburgctt font into .html format and open it in the Internet
browser. Upon viewing a readable text (after playing a litlle with
your browser "View"->"Encoding" menu option) copy/paste this text into MS-Word
(or, better, into NotePad and save as a .txt file).
Then open that .txt file in Ms-Word.

Luck!

Professor.
