Alexander Bokovoy (15/01/2003) said that russification by Olga Briginets (http://trash1.hotmail.ru) -- this is a russification discussed in NTG-ConTeXt -- is slightly obsolete. He modified it, and now it conforms 'teTeX-2.0 pretest-20030107'. Modified version is available at: http://people.altlinux.ru/~ab/tex/context-russian.tar.bz2 2. Vladimir Volovich (one of the authors of the cyrillic support in LaTeX) noticed that kerning in 8-bit fonts has been lost: "in Context the support of 8-bit encodings turned out to be so bad, that kerning is completely disappeared there. LaTeX is still not so bad, this thing is implemented much more neatly there."
