Computer modern cyrillic fonts in alternative coding.

This collection includes:

cmcyrmf.zip Metafont sources of fonts created by N Glonti and A Samarin.
I however have changed the coding such that characters start from the 128th
position and the layout corresponds to alternative coding. Also I have
added typewriter caps and yo-italic. I include cmcyr.mfj for the
generation of pk-files and cmcyr.bat for the generation of the library.
Note that metafont can give errors when generating some fonts  at higher magnifications
(eg czssq8 mag 1.44). This is probably a bug in cmcyr. Just ignore them.
(Call mfjob with option /i)



To  use both russian and english letters one needs a set of fonts
that contain both latin and russian characters. This is done using
virtual fonts, cmcyrvf.zip. Sources are in cmcyrvpl.zip.

tfm-files, cmcyrtfm.zip

hyphenation patterns, rhyphen.tex.

A batch file fmtalt.bat for the generation of the new format (NFSS1). Note
options /8 and /o for EmTeX that make possible 8-bit input and output.

cmcyr.sty substitute virtual fonts instead of standard ones, requires NFSS.
Get a latest version of NFSS1.

cyrnfss2.zip - support for nfss2 or latex2e.

enhrus -- convenient driver for screen and keyboard that loads russian
character set (alternative variant). Key layout corresponds to russian
typewriter.
