Subject: Quality of Plan 9's Cyrillic fonts? - msg#00242
List: os.plan9.general
I've a need to write a bunch of text files in Russian; how do native
speakers/readers feel about the quality of Plan 9's Cyrillic fonts?
Are they good, or should I search elsewhere? Also (and this might be
related to Andrey's recent question), is there a way to type in
Cyrillic's without hitting an Alt sequence for each character?
Thanks!

I can't speak to that, but under Unix I've been happy using the newer X11
bitmap fonts that have some unicode coverage (like the updated version
of the venerable 10x20.) If the licences permit, it might make sense
to ship repackaged versions of them with Plan 9.
