I am looking for general information about support of the Russian language and Cyrillic characters on IBM-compatible PCs. Not only fonts, but keyboards, software, etc. Thanks in advance for your help. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- David Moon Internet: moon@evax.gdc.com General Datacomm, Inc.

Not only fonts, but keyboards, software, etc. There's a package for DOS called DOSGOST, which implements the GOST Russian standard. It includes a Cyrilic screen font, and a TSR to convert the keyboard to use the standard Russian layout. The TSR works fine with micro-emacs. Alternatively, you can use DEMACS with my russian.el package. I also have filters for converting the GOST standard encoding into something TeX will understand, if you want to go that route. The DOSGOST package includes hyphenation patterns for Russian, so you can use TeX. [If you prefer Unix, you can still use my russian.el file under GNU Emacs to enter Russian, but you'll need a russian screen font. I use Linux, and I have patches to let that use DOS codepages, so I can use the screen font from DOSGOST.] -Joel
