I tried just a moment ago to typeset russian in a machine where I have only Hans standalone for Windows (mswincontext) and had no problem to get a correct output.
With your instructions, neither do I! I'm very, very thankful for this list...
1. I started scite (cscite.bat) 2. Opened a new tab 3. Select "UTF-8" in menu File/Encoding
This solved problem number 1: how to do UTF in SciTe.
4. Inserted the Russian example [1] for MkIV example from wiki in my tab 5. Added "% engine=luatex" at the begin of the file
This solved problem number 2: how to force SciTe to always use MkIV.
6. Saved the file on my disk 7. Choose the "Process TeX file" from the Tools menu. 8. Got a pdf file with russian text.
So did I. The best thing here is that this is simple enough that once I'm sure my filestructure and everything else works, I think my user will manage to get a compiling system going on. Hmm... Smells badly like I need to upgrade my own computer. I guess it's about time to migrate anyway. Luatex, here I come! Thanks a million, Mari
