This directory contains files which provide support of Cyrillic fonts
and encodings for FONTINST.

Several font encodings (with variants) are supported (all *.etx
files).  Install all *.etx, *.mtx, *.tex files contained in this
directory and subdirectories to your texmf tree. In this package, we
support various glyph naming schemes (not only Adobe one). If you have
Cyrillic fonts which use different glyph names which are not supported
here, please send AFM files or information about glyph naming schemes,
so that those fonts will also be supported for using with
fontinst/cyrfinst.  Please send additional glyph naming schemes used
in various Cyrillic fonts (type1, type3, truetype) to add into this
file.

To use fontinst with Cyrillic, put the following lines in the
beginning of the fontinst job:

\input fontinst.sty
\input fnstcorr
\inputmtx{cyralias}

Then for all non-adobe fonts (with non-standard names) write:

\aliasfonts{prefix1-}{prefix2}{font1,font2,%
font3,...,fontN}

where "prefix1-" is a glyph name prefix defined in cyralias.mtx; and
"prefix2" is a font name prefix (it may well be empty; it was only
made for space economy), so that font names are constructed by
concatenation of "prefix2" and "font*". This will generate mtx and pl
files for all specified fonts with T2 glyph names.

So, standard T2 cyrillic glyph names could be used everywhere
(cyrillic.mtx, *.etx, your local mtx files, etc), and one file serves
all possible non-standard glyph names!

Note also, that one should process fontinst cyrillic files with LaTeX
(not Plain TeX).
