Uwe,
Thanks for the fast answer. I normally use \usepackage[koi8-r]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian]{babel}, and tried the \usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[koi8-r]{inputenc} from cyrguide. No luck, fontwise.
The thing is, that although I can already get LyX to write in Russian, the
end result is a, ugly bit-mapped font. My original hope was that the cmcyr
fonts were actually vector fonts, but this doesn't seem to be the case if
cmcyr is the real default. Or if it is a vector representation of a
bitmapped font!
In English I use \usepackage{ae} to get decent fonts. I thought that there
might be a similar workaround for Cyrillic.
I guess I'm looking for an easier answer than having to convert and import
my own fonts, which is way beyond me at this point.
Regards,
Peter
