+ 1. GENERAL FEATURES
+
+ The LHCYR collection consists of three different styles
+ lhcyralt, lhcyrwin and lhcyrkoi. They are completely
+ analogous but intended for typesetting Russian in the
+ Alternative (codepage 866), Windows (codepage 1251) and
+ KOI-8 encodings respectively. Each style resides in
+ separate directory.
+
+ Styles of the LHCYR collection are intended for typesetting
+ Russian language or bilingual English-Russian documents.
+ All styles are based on the standard cm-fonts and lh-cyrillic
+ fonts.
+
+ The LHCYR styles do not use language switching mechanism and allow
+ to mix English and Russian words providing correct hyphenation
+ and kerning for both languages simultaneously.
+
+ Modern Russian hyphenation patterns are included. We provide
+ detailed installation instruction for emTeX (lhcyralt and lhcyrwin)
+ and teTeX (lhcyrkoi). It seems that installation for MikTeX
+ (Windows 95/98/NT) should be quite similar to teTeX's one.
+
+
+ 2. FONTS
+
+ There exist several Russian TeX fonts distributions. At present
+ the best fonts are provided by the lh-fonts package. I strongly
+ recommend them due to several reasons:
+
+ (1) The fonts are of quite good quality.
+ (2) The fonts are supported and maintainers constantly
+ improve them.
+ (3) The font set is complete. Lh-fonts contain analogous to all
+ standard cm or ec Latin text font shapes -- roman,
+ typewriter, small caps etc.
+ (4) Due to flexible design lh-fonts allow creation of Russian
+ fonts in various encodings from same metafont sources.
+ (5) Finally the fonts contains not only Russian characters.
+ They covers almost all existing Cyrillic-alphabet languages
+ as well.
+
+ Lh-fonts are available at
+ CTAN: /tex-archive/fonts/cyrillic/lh
+ or at
+ ftp: ftp.vsu.ru/pub/tex
+
+
+ 3. HYPHENATION TABLES
+
+ For a quite long time the only TeX hyphenation patterns for
+ Russian language where ones provided by Dmitri Vulis.
+
+ Recently Andrei Slepukhin created a new hyphenation tables.
+ These patterns follow strict Russian hyphenation rules.
+ The are available at
+ CTAN: /tex-archive/language/hyphenation/ruhyphen/
+ or at
+ ftp: forest.nmd.msu.ru/pub/tex/hyphenation
