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. -- With best regards, Dmitri Minaev > -----Original Message----- > From: Ulrich Dirr [mailto:ud@art-satz.de] > Sent: Thursday, April 10, 2003 6:20 PM > To: help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org > Subject: NT Emacs Latin & cyrillic script > > > Hi > > I'm a beginner with emacs ... > > I've downloaded a precompiled version of 21.2 and installed it. > Everything is working well, even auctex (on Win2k). > > But I would like to input and display latin and cyrillic scripts > simultaneously.
