@Daniel: AFAIK our current font does not support cyrillic characters.
How should we support them?
Frankly, I don't know... Are there any any free cyrillic truetype fonts
that we could distribute with Enigma? A quick google search did not turn
up anything.
There is a GPL'ed font called ttf-thyromanes that can be found in debian,
and it includes cyrillic (in addition to latin, greek, and IPA).
The font has no hinting or kerning, which is a downside especially for small
font sizes.
It has bold, italic, and bold-italic variations.
I have not seen it, so I have no idea how well it matches the current font.
Apparently it is serif, and according to the author it
"includes all the Roman-alphabet characters available in Unicode, along with
a subset of the most commonly used Greek and Cyrillic characters."
Hopefully that means that only very obsure characters that Enigma would
never need are missing from the cyrillic.
