Hello Karl, thanks a lot for your prompt and helpful reply. Now I am trying to figure out how I can obtain Cyrillic text with vector (Type 1) fonts, when using utf8x inputenc (without using scalable-cyrfonts-tex). The attached test file produces a PDF file with Type 3 bitmap fonts, when compiled with pdflatex... Any hint would be appreciated. Thanks for your time. -- http://www.inventati.org/frx/frx-gpg-key-transition-2010.txt New GnuPG key, see the transition document! .....................................................
