Yes, this would be nice to have Cyrillic glyphs in those fonts. Note that it will allow to use Xfree86 not only for Russian users (as Cyrillic is mostly associated with Russian language), but for Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian, Ukranian, Belorussian people. (at a moment, the only reasonable solution for Cyrillic-speaking users is to use MS web fonts.) I am speaking about potential market/territory with >250mln. people. | _________________________________________ | Dmitry Yu.
