It would be helpful to know which specific languages you are lacking support for in Adobe Garamond Pro. Otherwise how can a specific font be recommended?

I'm sure Thomas can fill you in on how well Premiere supports those languages; it's certainly beyond my ken. Strangely, it _looks_ to me as if Premiere should work.

This page <http://www.paratype.com/help/language/> at Paratype might be of some use to you.

Thanks John. Permiere Pro: the only knowledge of this I have is as a video editing software, is that what you mean?

Ooops! I didn't read your original post correctly!

I was thinking that we were talking about Garamond Premier Pro <http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/landing/garamond/garamond.html> - and I've even been spelling _that_ incorrectly!

You, of course, have been talking about Garamond Pro, <http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/F/GARP/F_GARP-10005000.html> which doe not have the same extensive language support. Sorry for my mistake.

No worries John I do it all the time myself.

So, to figure out what languages a given Adobe font supports, start with the page for that font family. For example, for Adobe Garamond Pro, it's <http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1703.html>; for Garamond Premier Pro it's <http://store.adobe.com/type/browser/P/P_1738.html>.

Click on the "more info" tab on the right. You'll now see a list of language groups such as "Adobe CE" and "Cyrillic." There's also a link there that shows what specific languages are supported by various language groups.

Basically, you need a font that supports Adobe CE and Cyrillic. In the Adobe Type Library, that would be Garamond Premier, Minion, Myriad, Sava and Warnock. (All of these have "Pro" in the name, which is an indicator of their CE support.)

Adobe Garamond Pro has all the diacriticals you need - it just doesn't have Cyrillic support, so it's no good for Russian or Ukrainian.
