[comp.text.tex] help with cyrillic fonts requested

gregoret@celeste.mmwb.ucsf.edu (Lydia M. Gregoret) (05/14/91)

I need help using the cyrillic fonts.  I need to format something in
Ukrainian, but it doesn't work (see below -- what is the "new font
selection scheme?").  We don't have any serious TeX users here, just
novices, and I am not even one of those yet.

What I would really like is a sample document using a cyrillic font in
which I could delete the text and put in my own.  I promise someday I
will learn to use TeX if you help me.

Thanks in advance,

P.S.  we got the fonts and stlye file rmacro.sty from ymir.claremont.edu

Here is my test file (tmp.tex):

I think I've almost got it.  But I could still use an example
file.  I am now using the AMSFonts with the U of Washington-developed
alphabet.

Doesn't \cprime (soft sign) go after \ya in the Ukrainian collating
sequence? (Also you need the few special Ukrainian letters, 
including even the hard g (g with upturn), all of which
are in WNCYR, but I'm not sure of rmacro.sty on ymir has the control
sequences for the non-Russian letters. You can easily define them,
though.)
