Pdftex Preferably utf8 encoding
pdfTeX, XeTeX or LuaTeX?

I have spend three days trying to make ConTeXt show Cyrillic letters with zero success. I have tried to follow http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian precisely still I see only latin transliteration instead of Cyrillic letters. The funny thing that http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Vietnamese gives absolutely different set of commands for internationalization. I have tried them as well with no luck.
I have tried about 10 variants that I have found on wiki.contextgarden.net and ntg-context@ntg.nl maillist NONE of them produce russian letters just latin transliteration and empty text.
I have tried so far: Fresh install of TeX Live 2008 on Windows XP Fresh install of TeTeX 3 on FreeBSD 7 Fresh install of Latest Context Minimals on FreeBSD 7 (installed on 22-12-2008)
LaTeX, from the same installations of TeXlive 2008 and teTeX, works out box, just as simple as: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
Does any can give me a working example of cyrillic text in conTeXt?

I had no problems typesetting a russian text simply using UTF-8 encoding with XeTeX - and of course an OpenType font containing cyrillic glyphs (TeX Gyre). Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://wiki.contextgarden.net https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)
