== Russian (Cyrillic) fonts < [[Fonts]] | [[Encodings and UTF ==Regimes]] >
It is now possible (from ConTeXt version 2005-01-27 or 2005-01-31) to type To use Russian (cyrillic) letters directly in your .tex file using UTF-8 encoding. I have only tested this on TeXLive 2004ConTeXt MkIV, but I guess it would work on any distribution as long as you have the cm-super fonts installed (On TeXLive you had to generate the tfm files needed using the <tt>afm2tfm</tt> application (see furhter down on this page for need a small python script font that enables you to create all tfm files)has cyrillic letters, or by using e.g. the DejaVu fonts in LaTeX). Here is a minimal(?) working filewhich are shipped with the [[ConTeXt Standalone]].
