< To use Russian in ConTeXt MkIV, you need a font that has cyrillic letters, e.g. the DejaVu fonts which are shipped with the [[FontsConTeXt Standalone]] | [[Encodings and Regimes]] >.
It is now possible (from ConTeXt version [[Context 2005.01.26|2005.01.26]] or [[Context 2005.01.31|2005-01-31]]) to type Russian (cyrillic) letters directly in your .tex file using UTF-8 encoding. I have only tested this on TeXLive 2004, 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 a small python script that enables you to create all tfm files), or by using the fonts in LaTeX). Here is a minimal(?) working file. <texcode>\enableregime[utf]\useencoding[cyr] \definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[russian]\starttextМама и Папа % Some Russian characters\stoptext</texcode> == Russian (Cyrillic) fonts and Windows 1251 == The following example should work if you save your file in the Windows 1251 encoding: <texcode>\definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a] \definetypeface [swedish] [rm] [serif] [latin-modern] [default] [encoding=texnansi]\setupbodyfontmainlanguage[russian] \starttextSome russian text:Там можно встретить медведей. Some swedish text:{\switchtobodyfont[swedish]D\"ar kan man m\"ota bj\"ornar.} \stoptext</texcode> At least it works here with TeXLive 2004. == Russian (Cyrillic) fonts and koi8-r (koi8r) ==For koi8-r input encoding try this: <texcode>\useregime[cyr] % loads input regimes\enableregime[koi8-r]

</texcodecontext> For this example to work you need some cyrillic fonts, which is not included in default ConTeXt distribution. AFAIK cm-super is one of the most comprehensive cyrillic font packages. It can replace most fonts in cont-lmt. There is also small type1 font package pscyr. If you have one of these, you need to add this before \starttext: For cm-super try: <texcode>\usetypescript[modern-base][t2a] % switch default typescipt\setupbodyfont[modern]</texcode> or for pscyr: <texcode>\usetypescript[pscyr][t2a]\setupbodyfont[pscyr]</texcode> But you need to make sure that all typescript definitions are in place. Example typescript for PSCyr can be downloaded from [http://radhelorn.freeownhost.com/files/type-pscyr.tex http://radhelorn.freeownhost.com/files/type-pscyr.tex]. Place it in the same dir as your tex file or in ConTeXt user directory and add this command before setting typescripts: <texcode>\usetypescriptfile[type-pscyr]</texcode> If all files is on their places this should work "out of the box". == The python script ==Ok, I am not a programmer, so this could probably be done in a cleaner way. However, it works for me.(A bit enhanced/modernized now...) <pre>#!/usr/bin/pythonimport os # Set these paths to what they should be in your casemapfile="/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/cm-super/cm-super-t2a.map"encfile="cm-super-t2a.enc"tfmoutdir="/texmf/fonts/tfm/public/cm-super/" f=file(mapfile, 'rU') # First read a line that is a comment.a=f.readline()print a
