But there exist several standards of russian encoding itself. Personally I use KOI-8 for mail and news and CP866 for anything else (read: work). I have converted some CP866 fonts from DOS, and some from Cronyx KOI-8 fonts. The bad news is that Type1 fonts do not allow to use CP866. It would be not bad to write a builtin encoding converter for X Server. :-) -SB
