[NTG-context] Russian language support in ConTeXt
Hello: I would like to use ConTeXt for typesetting the documents in Russian. I used it about 10 years ago and it worked just fine. Much has been changed since then, however, and it doesn't work out-of-box while the only howto I've been able to find (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian) seems to be outdated as none of the examples works with the latest ConTeXt. Could someone please explain me what I need to set up the program accordingly. I would appreciate your help a lot. Kind regards, Pavel. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
