How to include Cyrillic Characters in Markdown for Pandoc

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4005 bytes --]

Hello all! Hope I will not be banned from this list. My minimal working 
example became a maximal (much too long) not working example. Questions are 
in this Markdown document. For beginners: save the two files, change into 
the folder with your shell, and issue `make` ...

Thank you for your answers.

# How to include Cyrillic Characters in Markdown for Pandoc

## Foreword

Original Thread: <https://groups.google.com/g/pandoc-discuss/c/xBZxIfEH1vI> 

I am on Catalina, Newest `Pandoc` installed via `Homebrew`. I am using 
`Pandoc > Mardkown > LaTeX > PDF`.^[comp. the `Makefile`] 

<!-- 
I tried with 

header-includes: 
- \usepackage[english,russian,main=german]{babel}
- \usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
- \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
-->

## How to insert Cyrillic Text into Markdown 

- My questions are: How to choose a character-set with Cyrillic script 
^[Cyrillic: from code point ux0400 to ux04FF)]; how to know, whether for 
example Arial in `/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental` has this alphabet 
included?^[Just now before posting I discovered in `Font Book.app`: choose 
`Arial` then `View > Language > Russian`]
- From where I choose the fonts:\
  + `/System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental`
  + `/System/Library/Fonts/`
  + `~/Library/Fonts`
  + `/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/fonts/`

<!--
Uncomment for testing:
Bongard Problem [Михаил Моисеевич Бонгард]{lang=ru}
-->

When issuing `make` with a snippet in Cyrillic in the Markdown Original I 
get following error:

```
Error producing PDF.
! Package polyglossia Error: The current latin font latinmodern-math.otf(3)\
does not contain the "Cyrillic" script!
(polyglossia)\
Please define \cyrillicfont with \newfontfamily command.
```

Apparently the font `latinmodern-math.otf` resides in: 
`/System/Volumes/Data/texlive/2019/\
texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/lm-math/latinmodern-math.otf`^[What is 
that? A huge folder, and my Texlive is from 2020! Is this a sort of Backup? 
May I delete this `texlive` folder?] and 
`/usr/local/texlive/2020/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/\
lm-math/latinmodern-math.otf`. I have to choose my character set from here? 
Converting with `Pandoc` the font is certainly chosen in the \LaTeX{} 
install automatically. No need to define the path to the font. Right?

Inserting in the YAML Headers:

```

header-includes: 
- \usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}
- \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
- \usepackage[english,russian,main=german]{babel}

```

is not working. Thank you for your patience. And for this long text.

Try adding this to the header-include section (you probably have these 
fonts, but change if appropriate):

- \newfontfamily{\cyrillicfont}{Georgia}
- \newfontfamily{\cyrillicfontsf}{Arial}

Cf. 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/318394/sans-monospace-font-for-otherlanguage
 and 
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/539296/overleafs-polyglossia-package-with-cyrillic-fonts
 
for some background.

Best,

Julien
