Thanks Mikael for your advise.

However, I have a 1000 page document which I have been typesetting in 
Latex thusfar, and I am considering shifting to Context.

There are some other things to say about this project, but the first 
step would be to get koi8 working.

I have attached my sample file.

Kind regards,

Robert
