Cyrillic glyphs display problem with standalone ConTeXt distribution under win32

Hello everyone, I use standalone ConTeXt distribution for win32, mswincontext.zip downloaded a week ago, and never got proper cyrillic characters. I get latin "character codes" instead: for instance, \cyrillicDJE produces "DJE" in the output pdf, but not "�". At the same time \Tsedilla (cp1250) makes the proper glyph. I found that live ConTeXt at contextgarden.org behaves in the similar way. Neither of recommendations/samples at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian worked for me. The standalone context distribution does contain all necessary fonts and regimes, so there must be some deeper problem. Could anyone, please, tell me what is going on? Here is my test.tex. I tried it in utf, cp1251, cp866, all producing the similar result. (this letter must be in koi-8r cyrillic encoding) \useregime[cp1251] \enableregime[cp1251] \usetypescript[modern-base][t2a] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext ��� ������ �������� \ConTeXt!\par \Tcedilla\par \cyrillicDJE\par �������������������������������� \stoptext

Wellcome on the list! Are you the first Russian user here perhaps?

\useregime[cp1251] \enableregime[cp1251]
That should be OK (I don't think that you need to say \useregime[cp1250] explicitely.)
\usetypescript[modern-base][t2a] \setupbodyfont[modern]
Latin modern doesn't have cyrillic letters. Does the following work? \starttypescript [antykwa-torunska] [texnansi,ec,el,t2a] \definetypeface[antykwa][rm][serif][antykwa-torunska] [default][encoding=\typescripttwo] % you need to define also sans and math here \stoptypescript \usetypescript[antykwa-torunska][t2a] \setupbodyfont[antykwa]

How do you initialize the fonts under LaTeX? Mojca

Hi, this does not really help you, but: I tried your file and the files at the Russian wiki page, and they did not work with my minimal installation for linux either. However, they all worked well with TeXLive 2004 with a not too old ConTeXt version. Since I partly wrote that wiki page and only tried it with my own TeXLive 2004 it may not be helping other people too much. Sorry for not being able to help more. I wish I could... Mikael P
