does transliterate Russian characters.

I do not have any experience working with Cyrillic, so if anyone can provide minimal working example it would be very nice?

Since I just adapted a ConTeXt based business card generator to work with cyrillic type, I can assure that it's possible - with XeTeX or LuaTeX. There you just need to encode your sources in UTF-8 and use OpenType fonts that contain cyrillic glyphs, like TeX Gyre. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Some time ago this example used to work: \enableregime[utf] \usetypescript[modern-base][t2a] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext Немного текста. \stopbuffer This requires cm-super package. Unfortunately after some update this stopped working. If someone puts me on a right way to start debugging font loading mechanism I'll try to sort this out. Problem is that map files seem to be loaded, fonts are installed in right places but ConTeXt doesn't try to generate tfm. It just always uses default fonts (LM ones with ec encoding). I've tried varous combinations (\setupencoding, fiddling with typescripts) with no difference. Tried this on MkII, as MkIV seem to require even more tuning. Gour wrote:
