EasyConvert for FontSmoother and Plucker Fonts EasyConvert for FontSmoother and Plucker Fonts - EasyConvert with FontSmoother lets you use your favorite Windows font on your hi-res PalmOS 5 PDA in most applications
Dal's Russian Dictionary Dal's Russian Dictionary - This is the famous four volume V. I. Dal' dictionary, converted with permission from http://vidahl.agava.ru for Plucker 1.6.
It requires KOI8-R fonts. My converted anti-aliased URW Cyrillic fonts for Plucker will work fine with it.
This includes, near the top, a list of words with transliterations between slashes
Keyboard Layout Generator for myKbd Keyboard Layout Generator for myKbd - This is a free desktop companion program to the (very soon to be released) myKbd hex keyboard utility for the Palm T3, T5, LifeDrive and TX, which lets you change the colors and layout of hex keyboards. You edit a keyboard by editing a fairly simple text file that describes the colors and layouts (see SampleKeyboard
OnTop OnTop lets you pop up applications on top of another application, and then come back to exactly where you were in the original application when you're done.
You can assign pop-up applications to the four hardware keys on your PDA or Treo, either to the key-press or to a longer key-hold
DAList DAList - lists all your Desk Accessories and lets you launch one (or you can exit by tapping outside the list).
While normally DAs are meant to be launched on top of other applications, there may be times when one just wants to run a DA as if it were a normal application, and DA List is the solution
FastLaunch FastLaunch - Fast and simple launcher for Treo/Centro phones:
* Quickly launch an application (or Desk Accessory) just by holding down the first letter, which gives you a list of all the applications starting with that letter.
* Pop up an application on top of another application by pressing Option and then holding down the first letter
CenterMenu CenterMenu - Holding the center button on the five-way controller for about a second on newer Palms gives the generally useless alerts box. But if you install CenterMenu, instead it will pull down the application menu, which you can then navigate with the five-way controller for stylus-free, one-handed operation

For reasons of memory usage, these fonts don't include large versions.
This means either you won't be able to view text headings and the like, or else you will need a Russian localization (such as PiLoc) in addition to these
