Hello! Cyrillic characters get transliterated after being processed by "texexec". The following example: \enableregime[utf] \useencoding[cyr] \definetypeface[russian][rm][serif][computer-modern][default][encoding=t2a] \setupbodyfont[russian,24pt] \starttext Немного русского текста для пробы. \stoptext produces this result: Nemnogo russkogo teksta dlya probery. Solution posted at "http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2008/035330.html" no longer works with context version "ConTeXt ver: 2010.09.09 23:45 MKII fmt: 2010.9.10 int: english/english" but produces the following message: ! Font \*russian12ptrmtfrm*:=larm1000 at 12.0pt not loadable: Metric (TFM) file not found. <to be read again> Thank you for help. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Faster than the air-speed velocity of an unladen european swallow
