What's needed is that someone gets the Cyrilic fonts working on his or her machine, and then makes tgz file from the entire directory (not just the files in it, the locale specific subdirectory as well). This way the user will be able to download the whole thing and just extract it under the fonts directory, and have a working set of fonts in a correctly named locale specific directory. (If he or she does not like these fonts that's OK, at least they will have template to follow in replacing them with fonts they prefer). We should have font packs with Type1 fonts only; we can provide others with TTF too (clearly marked), but since we cannot assume ttf support in X, the basic pack should be Type1 only. We _must_ do this before the 1.0 release, we cannot release without font packs for at least the most common encodings (Latin- 2, KOI-8 stem to mind; I have got a font pack from and Israeli user for iso8859-8; I also recall Vlad Harchev created a font pack for koi8-r, but we never made it publicly available). So could someone who is also on the users list send a message there that we are looking for such font packs, and some with sufficient priviledges please create a download area for this on SourceForge, so we can start uploading :-).
