Hyphenation Tables + + + 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.
