Message-ID: <B5CFBC051993D41196FF00D0B78EE626DA3E0A@RUS2NT01> (raw)
Hello, Ulrich,
I'd dare to say that the optimal way is to use Emacs/MULE and switch
keyboard layout with MULE, not with the system tools. It lets you type texts
in different character encodings -- 'cyrillic-alternativnyj' (cp866, MS-DOS
Cyrillic), 'cyrillic-koi8' (U*IX Cyrillic) or 'cp1251' (Windows Cyrillic).
To enable cp1251 support, add to .emacs:
(codepage-setup 1251)
(define-coding-system-alias 'windows-1251 'cp1251)
(set-selection-coding-system 'cp1251)
As for the fonts, probably, you could find GNU intlfonts useful (see
http://www.gnu.org/directory/intlfonts.html ).
In LaTeX, you are supposed to use Babel to enable Cyrillic letters in your
document. Here's a typical preamble of a Russian LaTeX document:
\usepackage[cp1251]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
Note that in the first line you can use other encodings, like koi8-r or
cp866 to indicate the encoding you used to type the source file.
