Hi -- many thanks to this list and first and foremost to Vladimir
Volovich <vvv@vsu.ru> for the help and info I received about TeX and
Cyrillic some months ago. This summer I put the info into practise
and helped my wife serve her diploma in the pures tex, which we
turned into pdf and printed out in small internet café in Podolsk
before it was delivered to the right persons at Lomonosovs... :-) It
looked very nice, thanks to vvv's nice fonts also! I really got
hooked on using "real" TeX fonts instead of PS-versions (which I am
sure I will need to use sooner or later also...)

I used \usepackage[maccyr]{inputenc} and
\usepackage[T1,T2A]{fontenc}. I tried using "double" input encoding,
but it turned out that the Mac-distro of TeX that I use, was unable
to support both Norwegian and Russian hyphenation ("tex capasisity
problems", which I'll ask about in another letter). I still was able
to get some few norwegian/scandinavian letters that was needed with
macros. I did everything in Nisus Writer and OzTeX.
