Hi! How can I typeset Russian in Mark IV? None of the examples from wiki work. I found "TeXGyre and (no) Cyrillic" thread, but there are no instructions, just "Cyrillic doesn't work with TeXGyre anymore".

You need a font with cyrillic glyphs, e.g. when you have microsofts core fonts installed this example works: \setupbodyfont[mscore] \starttext Немного русского текста для пробы. \stoptext Wolfgang

\setupbodyfont[mscore] \starttext Немного русского текста для пробы. \stoptext Thanks, this works but I don't like this font, and it breaks some math symbols. It would be nice to be able to use, for example, the same font LaTeX+babel use by default (btw, is it cm-unicode?).

Just install some fonts with Cyrillic glyphs to your system and use them. For example, this is how I (minimally) used CMU Serif [1]: \definetypeface[cyr][rm][Xserif][CMU Serif] \definetypeface[cyr][ss][Xsans][CMU Sans Serif] \definetypeface[cyr][tt][Xmono][CMU Typewriter Text Variable Width] \setupbodyfont[cyr, 12pt] \starttext Калейдоскоп \stoptext [1] http://cm-unicode.sourceforge.net/ -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos

I just copied the code from a MkII-XeTeX doc, hoping it will work...should've tested before sending...could've just worked. I had no idea what the 'Xserif' option does, and now one more riddle - 'specserif'. But even with this change, MkIV doesn't print anything: !define font : font with name cmuserif-normal-normal is not found !define font : unknown font cmuserif-normal-normal, loading aborted !define font : unable to define cmuserif-normal-normal as \*cyr12ptrmtf* -- -- Rogutės Sparnuotos

You're right but this is a problem with the regular style of cmu serif, the font specifies it's own weight as medium but mkiv expects normal. As you can see here the mechanism works but the results are font dependant. \definetypeface[cyr][rm][specserif][CMU Serif] \setupbodyfont[cyr, 12pt] \starttext \bf Калейдоскоп \stoptext Wolfgang

At some point I will add an mechanism for adding font characteristics for fonts that lack them. (Something Wolfgang and I need to discuss some time.)
