Can't you just type in Cyrillic like you would with normal letters. Щр рфшк еруку рщц фку нщг сфт нщг куфв ершы ерфе шы шт Кгыышфтю! That's a load of gibberish btw.

It tells me about my maximum allowed amount of characters, and how I have to add a break to it.  But it's only about 15-20, not long enough to need to add a break, even if I try to add one, and split it on two lines, it says pretty much the same thing.

Right I checked it out myself and it seems that the problem is that the Cyrillic letters are transformed into Unicode equivalents which are themselves made from 6 or more letters (for one Cyrillic letter). This means the character length per line for Cyrillic letters will be far less than for normal latin letters.

This is a limitation that is not LW's fault itself, but the way Cyrillic letters are transformed and handled. There is nothing I think that can be done to stop this, but you can still PM David and see what he says.

Then it seems like LiveWire has a problem recognising the character length of the field when Cyrillic letters are put into the signature field. You might want to PM David and file a bug report on BugWire.

Ok, thank you so much for looking into that for me!
I really appreciate it.
