Hello,
Is it possible to typeset Russian texts in ConTeXt? I guess, the
answer is 'yes', but I just don't know how to do that. Please
advise me.
Thank you in advance.
Best wishes,
Pavel.

the answer is indeed yes, but for this you will need
(1) fonts
(2) a proper encoding
(3) to set up a few labels and so
i'll send you some files i have on my machine from a context user i lost
track of, maybe you can take a look and finish things
do you know of any free type 1 cyrilic fonts?

Thank you. I installed the files, and now I can typeset russian.
That's great.

Yes.
I am aware of 2 font packages:
1) cm-super-fonts:
ftp://ftp.altlinux.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/Sisyphus/SRPMS.classic/cm-super-fonts-0.3.3-alt6.src.rpm
2) pscyr fonts:
http://www.tex.uniyar.ac.ru/package/fonts/pscyr/
Also, several free type 1 cyrilic fonts are available at
http://vedi.d-s.ru/fonts.htm
BTW, I used pscyr fonts with LaTeX. What should be done to use
them with ConTeXt?
Best wishes,
Pavel.

Yes, w/o any changes.
I copied cont-usr.tex to
/usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/cont-usr.ori,
moved all other files to the same directory, then 'texhash',
'texexec --make', again 'texhash'. That's all. I didn't do much
testing, but 'texexec sample.tex' gives me sample.dvi with
Russian letters.
Best wishes,
Pavel.
