typesetting in Cyrillic with Times
Hello, How can I typeset in Cyrillic while using the Adobe Times or Utopia fonts? I don't believe that they contain no cyrillic glyphs. It is very disappointing to be limited to weird-looking computer modern. (I work with MikTeX). Thanks Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky

there are some polish fonts (iwona, antikwa) that have cyrillic Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Depending on your needs and how adventurous you are, Aleph might help as a temporary fix. The omlgc font is Times-based and so might look better for your tastes. See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Aleph_Guide for install details and setting up your own \start-\stop environments Unfortunately Aleph is based on an old version of e-TeX and so some ConTeXt features might not work well. In a few months you may be able to use luaTeX with omlgc with proper access to all ConTeXt features. For working with Aleph in ConTeXt see the wiki entries. Here is a working cyrillic file with three different encodings: utf-8, Win1251, and koi8-r. Again, a bit adventurous, but hopefully some of the people on the list may benefit.

"I don't believe that they contain no cyrillic glyphs." can be taken as: 1. I do believe they contain some cyrillic glyphs, or 2. I believe they contain no cyrillic glyphs. In fact, while statement 2. may be true for the origial Adobe fonts, many systems can produce Cyrillic glyphs when asked for "Times" (because they substitute an augmented version of a free URW font), so statement 1 may also be close to the truth.
(I work with MikTeX).
I don't know about Utopia, but for the "LaserWriter 35" fonts, most
free software actually uses URW fonts that have been scaled so the
metrics match the real Adobe fonts. As well, many additional glyphs
have been added to the URW fonts used, e.g., for linux distros that
want to support more languages. A modern TeX system should be able
to typeset Cyrillic with the URW font that resembles Adobe Times (and
may even call this "Times"). CTAN, however, has the original URW fonts
(lacking the added glyphs commonly found on linux), so this route
probably isn't widely used. It should also be possible, even
straightforward, to install the fonts and supporting files from linux
to a local texmf tree for use with MikTeX.
