How can I write with Cyrillic letters?

How can I write with Cyrillic letters? I'm Bulgarian, and I'd like to write to my friends in Bulgarian. Thank You.

First, do you have a keyboard with Cyrillic keys?

I have no idea what a Cyrillic letter is :?

Inspite of my ignorance, I wonder if the gnome character map might be helpful?

Cirillic font is the font that Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia use. In Windows I can switch between Latin and Cyrillic layout with single pressing a button. Also there are many programs for this. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this in Puppy. I can read Bulgarian websites but I can't write.
P.S. It looks like that

You can use the xkb-config-manager. You'll find it at

I've used it in Puppy 2.12 to switch between keyboards since my wife is from Russia and wanted to write in Cyrillic. I just configured it so that clicking Ctrl and Shift simultaneously changed keyboards. She uses a standard Norwegian keyboard with plastic stickers with Cyrillic letters stuck on top. Hope this helps.
