Hi,
I am entirely new to Tex and Context. I installed the stand alone mswin
context distro and manage to typeset Dutch texts without any problems, using
the manuals.
I also need to typeset Russian texts, however, and I was wondering if there
exists a painless, 'out of the box', way to make Context understand Russian
(and not transliterating everything), or is it necessary to install
additional fonts?
The wikipage on the contextgarden site on Russian doesn't really give any
positive results, and browsing the mailinglist archives neither.
Thanks,
Klaus Gena

Re: [NTG-context] Easy way to start working with cyrillic? (Hans Hagen)
Thanks a lot for your help !
I managed to get xetex talking with the help of the Texlive DVD and Lutz's
tips. I'm a happy ConText user now.
