[comp.text] Update on Russian fonts for TeX

dhosek@jarthur.claremont.edu (Don Hosek) (01/08/90)

Dimitri Vulis <dlv@cunyvms1.cuny.edu> has sent me some information on 
Russian TeX software available elsewhere which has now been incorporated 
into the "babel" stuff at ymir. Included are Russian hyphenation patterns,
some VMS software to allow one to see Russian letters on the screen of a 
VT200 terminal, some PC stuff, a little documentation, and two sets of
fonts (one developed in the Soviet Union, which is apparently better-looking
than the University of Washington fonts, but only has Russian characters (no
Serbian, etc.).

This is all in subdirectories of SOFTWARE:[anonymous.tex.babel.russian].
You'll have to poke around a bit to see what's there. I haven't finished
compiling readme files for these directories, but they will be made 
available at a future date.
