Yes. Special characters are written in ASCII, so there's no problem there. You could even mix KOI8-R Russian with Unicode Russian in the form \[u0432]...just don't expect the latter to hyphenate correctly. > Perhaps I will have a look at the hyphenation code and try to fix it. > Hacking the typesetter is always a perfect distraction from the work > you are supposed to do instead. ;-) Be sure you review my earlier messages to Oliver in detail. The hyphenation code isn't "broken", it's simply limited to the C/C++ char type for character code points and hyphenation codes (which are not "the same thing as" character code points, but do correspond to them).
