The Linux Cyrillic HOWTO Alexander L. Belikoff, (abel@wisdom.weizmann.ac.il) v2.1, 17 September 1995 This document describes how to set up your Linux box to typeset, view and print the documents in the Russian language. 1. Introduction This document covers the things you need to successfully typeset, view, and print documents in Russian. The description is targeted primarily to the end users. While writing it, I tried to keep the things as simple as possible. On my opinion, it is unfair to overburden the user with the X Window System or TeX implementation details, because she merely wants to type or view the nice texts in Russian. However, I don't describe what the X Window System is and how to typeset the documents with TeX and LaTeX. Consequently, having a guru at hand for the case of potential problems would be an advantage. There is some conflict between MS-DOG and Un*x Cyrillic codesets. In MS-DOG, the most popular Cyrillic codeset is Alt (so-called alternative codeset). In Un*x, however, the traditional codeset with Russian characters is KOI-8. It is specified in the RFC 1489 ("Registration of a Cyrillic Character Set"). The difference in two codesets is usage is pretty minimal (except the TeX packages). Therefore, we will describe only KOI-8 codeset setup. I appreciate any comments corrections and suggestions concerning the document. Don't hesitate to contact me at abel@wisdom.weizmann.ac.il. 2. Acknowledgments and copyrights Many people helped me (and not only me) with valuable information and suggestions. Even more people contributed software to the public community. I am sorry if I have forgotten to mention somebody. So, here they go: Bas V._de Bakker, David Daves, Serge Vakulenko, Sergei O. Naoumov, Winfried Truemper.

Further plans The next versions of this document will be accessible on sunsite.unc.edu and tsx-11.mit.edu in HOWTO directory of the Linux Document Project. I am looking forward to include more information on TeX and LaTeX as well as much more elaborated information on printing. 4. Setting up the environment 4.1. Console All stuff needed for russification of the Linux console is contained in the kbd package. The package is accessible at sunsite.unc.edu or tsx-11.mit.edu. Usually, that package is already installed (it is a standard part of at least Slackware distribution). To setup the Cyrillic stuff, one should do three things: 1. Set the appropriate screen font. This is performed by the setfont program. The fonts files are placed in /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts. NOTE: Never run the setfont program under X or it will hang your system. This is because it works with low-level video card calls which X doesn't like. 2. If you use the font in Alt coding (as I do) then you have to set up the screen mapping program to perform automatic conversion from Alt to KOI-8. For that purpose use the mapscrn program and the /usr/lib/kbd/consoletrans/koi2alt file. 3. Load the appropriate keyboard layout with the loadkeys program. 4. Output an ESC(K escape sequence on the screen (ESC stands for the Escape character with code 033). Only God knows the purpose of that combination. I stole it from the Danish-HOWTO <file://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/Danish-HOWTO> (thanks, Thomas Petersen) and it works for me! The following is an example of a script which sets up the Cyrillic mode for console: #!/bin/bash # # load cyrillic defs for console # # *** NEVER TRY IT UNDER X!!! *** loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/ru.map setfont /usr/lib/kbd/consolefonts/Cyr_a8x16 mapscrn /usr/lib/kbd/consoletrans/koi2alt echo -ne 'ESC(K' # use the REAL ESCAPE character here ! echo "Use the right Ctrl key to switch the mode..." 4.2. The X Window System Like the console mode, the X environment also requires some setup. This involves setting up the input mode and the X fonts. Both are being discussed below. 4.2.1. The X fonts. First of all, you have to obtain the fonts collection having the Cyrillic glyphs at the appropriate places. There is a number of such fonts on the net. The author's favorite one is the collection VakuFonts created by Serge Vakulenko (vak@cronyx.ru). It can be found in the collection of cyrillic stuff for the X Window System <ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/culture/russian/comp/xwin> where you can find many useful packages for X. Note: Apparently, that package is included to the XFree86 version 3.1.2 as well as to the most recent public patch for the X11 Release 6. Unfortunately, the author hasn't had a chance to check it yet. Usually the X fonts are distributed in the BDF format which is actually the textual font description. You should compile the fonts to the PCF format using the bdftopcf command: bdftopcf -o name.pcf name.bdf It is also possible to compress the compiled font using the compress program (I am not sure about the gzip support). Now you should do three things to set everything up: 1. Put the compiled (and possibly compressed) fonts to the specified directory. 2. Recreate the list of fonts for the directory. Simply cd to it and run: mkfontdir . You should run it once. This will upgrade the the fonts catalog file fonts.dir. 3. If the fonts package provides the file of fonts' aliases (usually fonts.alias) then append it's contents to the fonts' aliases file in the directory containing the fonts. 4. If that directory is not already known to the X server, then you should make it known. To achieve that, add the following commands to the xinitrc file (either local or global one): xset +fp directory_with_fonts xset fp rehash After you have made the settings above, you can check the availability of the new fonts by running the following command: xfd -fn fontname This should show the table of characters of the specified font. 4.2.2. The input translation The switching between the different input translations is set up by the xmodmap program. This program allows customization of codes emitted by various characters and their combinations. It sets the things up based on the file containing the translation table, usually ~/.Xmodmap. The following is a simplified description of input customization. If you want to do more sophisticated tricks, refer to the xmodmap(1) or, even better, wait for the X11 Release 7 which will address the current input problems. In our case, the translation table should define two things: ╖ the character codes emitted by the alphanumeric characters, and ╖ the mode switching rules 4.2.2.1. The table of characters This is basically a sequence of directives which assign the certain keysyms to a specified keycodes. The general syntax is the following: keycode code = sym1 sym2 sym3 sym4 where code is the numerical code of the given key on the keyboard (refer to the standard table for your system. In my case it is stored in the file /usr/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std). The syms define the keysyms emitted by that key in different conditions. Sym1 is the keysym emitted by the key in a regular state, sym2 corresponds the key in shifted state (usually when Shift is held down). Sym3 and sym4 define the keysyms emitted when the Mode_switch is active for the normal and shifted states respectively (group 2, according the X Protocol Specification). In our case, the active Mode_switch corresponds to the Cyrillic input mode. These should be either hexadecimal codes or the symbolic constants from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h (without leading "XK_"). Thus, if we wanted the key corresponding to the Latin 'a' generate the Russian 'a' in the alternative mode, we would write the following: keycode 38 = a A 0xC1 0xE1 The reader might be curious why I haven't used the Cyrillic_a and Cyrillic_A constants respectively. The answer is that it didn't work for me. I am not very familiar with the guts of the X Window System specification, but I have the following explanation. The symbolic constants above have the values 0x6C1 and 0x6E1 respectively. This means that in really multi-lingual environment they could be successfully used without overlapping with any other character set. However the KOI-8 standard is not well suited for such environment. Thus, since we want to retain compatible with the past, we will violate the rules of multi-lingual support in the X Window System. The following is a table for the most popular russian JCUKEN keyboard layout (these tables are derived from the ones in the VakuFonts package): keysym 4 = 4 dollar 4 quotedbl keysym 5 = 5 percent 5 colon keysym 6 = 6 asciicircum 6 comma keysym 7 = 7 ampersand 7 period keysym q = q Q 0xCA 0xEA keysym w = w W 0xC3 0xE3 keysym e = e E 0xD5 0xF5 keysym r = r R 0xCB 0xEB keysym t = t T 0xC5 0xE5 keysym y = y Y 0xCE 0xEE keysym u = u U 0xC7 0xE7 keysym i = i I 0xDB 0xFB keysym o = o O 0xDD 0xFD keysym p = p P 0xDA 0xFA keysym bracketleft = bracketleft braceleft 0xC8 0xE8 keysym bracketright = bracketright braceright 0xDF 0xFF keysym a = a A 0xC6 0xE6 keysym s = s S 0xD9 0xF9 keysym d = d D 0xD7 0xF7 keysym f = f F 0xC1 0xE1 keysym g = g G 0xD0 0xF0 keysym h = h H 0xD2 0xF2 keysym j = j J 0xCF 0xEF keysym k = k K 0xCC 0xEC keysym l = l L 0xC4 0xE4 keysym semicolon = semicolon colon 0xD6 0xF6 keysym apostrophe = apostrophe quotedbl 0xDC 0xFC keysym grave = grave asciitilde 0xA3 0xB3 keysym z = z Z 0xD1 0xF1 keysym x = x X 0xDE 0xFE keysym c = c C 0xD3 0xF3 keysym v = v V 0xCD 0xED keysym b = b B 0xC9 0xE9 keysym n = n N 0xD4 0xF4 keysym m = m M 0xD8 0xF8 keysym comma = comma less 0xC2 0xE2 keysym period = period greater 0xC0 0xE0 Also, for those using the russian YAWERTY layout, I've included the following table: keysym q = q Q 0xD1 0xF1 keysym w = w W 0xD7 0xF7 keysym e = e E 0xC5 0xE5 keysym r = r R 0xD2 0xF2 keysym t = t T 0xD4 0xF4 keysym y = y Y 0xD9 0xF9 keysym u = u U 0xD5 0xF5 keysym i = i I 0xC9 0xE9 keysym o = o O 0xCF 0xEF keysym p = p P 0xD0 0xF0 keysym bracketleft = bracketleft braceleft 0xDB 0xFB keysym bracketright = bracketright braceright 0xDD 0xFD keysym a = a A 0xC1 0xE1 keysym s = s S 0xD3 0xF3 keysym d = d D 0xC4 0xE4 keysym f = f F 0xC6 0xE6 keysym g = g G 0xC7 0xE7 keysym h = h H 0xC8 0xE8 keysym j = j J 0xCA 0xEA keysym k = k K 0xCB 0xEB keysym l = l L 0xCC 0xEC keysym z = z Z 0xDA 0xFA keysym x = x X 0xD8 0xF8 keysym c = c C 0xC3 0xE3 keysym v = v V 0xD6 0xF6 keysym b = b B 0xC2 0xE2 keysym n = n N 0xCE 0xEE keysym m = m M 0xCD 0xED keysym backslash = backslash bar 0xDC 0xFC keysym grave = grave asciitilde 0xC0 0xE0 keysym equal = equal plus 0xDE 0xFE keysym 3 = 3 numbersign 3 0xDF keysym 4 = 4 dollar 4 0xFF 4.2.2.2. The mode switching rules This is basically the trickiest part of the X Cyrillic setup. You should define the conditions in which the current mode is switched between the regular and the Cyrillic one. There are two ways to achieve that in Linux. One is XFree86-specific, while the other is more general (well, not too much, as I'll show below). The XFree86-specific way is the following. There are two virtual actions which can be assigned to the keys in the XF86Config file: ModeShift which changes to the mode alternative to the regular one without locking, and ModeLock which does the same but with locking. In the first case the keys will emit the alternative keysyms only when the key generating the ModeShift is held down, whereas in the latter case the user needs to press the key generating the ModeLock keysym only once and the keyboard will be generating the alternative keysyms until that key is pressed for a second time. You should assign the ModeShift and ModeLock keysyms to the keys you want to work the mode switches. Thus, if one wants to assign the ModeShift action to the right Alt key, she should place the following directive in her XF86Config: RightAlt ModeShift Similarly, if the action required was ModeLock, the directive would be: RightAlt ModeLock See the XF86Config(4/5) for more details. The other way is, again, to use the xmodmap utility. This is much more tricky. Basically what you should do is: ╖ Assign the Mode_switch keysym to some key, and ╖ Add Mode_switch to some spare modifier map Now the key to which the ModeShift is assigned will act as a mode switch. This means that while it is held down, the keyboard is in alternative mode. Moreover, if you add a lockable key to that modifier's map, this key will lock the alternative mode. Note: There are some problems however. Serge Vakulenko (vak@cronyx.com) pointed out that the different X Server implementations may have different rules of assignments the mode switches (like, for example, some servers restrict the set of the keys which may work in toggle mode to, say, CapsLock, NumLock, and ScrollLock). Hopefully, this is a subject to change in the next release of the X Window System. For more details, see the X Protocol specification. Let's see an example. Suppose, one wants to use the right Alt as a mode switch and the ScrollLock as as a mode lock. First of all, one should check the default modifiers' map. This is accomplished by running the xmodmap without arguments: $ xmodmap xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 mod5 According to the above, the plan of attack is the following: 1. remove the Alt_R key from the mod1 map 2. assign the Mode_switch keysym to the Alt_R key 3. assign the Scroll_Lock keysym to the keycode 78 (the code of the actual ScrollLock) 4. add the Mode_switch to the spare (mod3) map, and 5. add the Scroll_Lock keysym to the mod3 map Thus, here is the solution: remove mod1 = Alt_R keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch keycode 78 = Scroll_Lock add mod3 = Mode_switch add mod3 = Scroll_Lock If you use the latter solution, you may combine both the table and the mode directives in your ~/.Xmodmap file. Such files are generally supplied with the various X Cyrillic stuff packages. The good example is the tables in the perfect package by Serge Vakulenko described above. Once you have such file containing the table, you should run the command: xmodmap filename every time you start X. Modify your .xinitrc file to perform it. NOTE: your .xinitrc can already contain the code to run the xmodmap over your local table if the one exists. The table distributed with the Serge's Vakulenko package didn't work for the author.

Cyrillic support in LaTeX In this section I'll describe the procedure of making LaTeX typeset Russian. LaTeX is a macro package for TeX offering the user many useful styles, templates, and commands. If you are making your mind on what package to use, I personally suggest LaTeX. Moreover, there are two versions of LaTeX available - 2.09 is the old one, while 2e is a new pre-3.0 release. If you are using LaTeX 2.09, then switch quickly to the 2e. The latter retains compatibility with the old one, but has much more features. Hopefully, version 3 will be released soon. So far I describe the LaTeX 2e setup. I have an experience with two packages. One is the cmcyralt package by Vadim V. Zhytnikov (vvzhy@phy.ncu.edu.tw) and Alexander Harin (harin@lourie.und.ac.za), and the other is the LH package by the CyrTUG group with styles and hyphenation for LaTeX2e by Sergei O. Naoumov (serge@astro.unc.edu). I'll describe both. Note: Both of these packages require the Cyrillic text to be typeset using the Alt codeset, not KOI-8! This is caused by historical reasons, since the creators of these packages used to work with EmTeX - the MS-DOG version of TeX (they didn't know about Linux yet :-). Switching to the KOI-8 requires some effort and is being expected to be done soon. So far, use some utility to convert your russian text from KOI-8 to Alt. See section ``User's tools''. 5.1. Using the cmcyralt package The cmcyralt package can be found on any CTAN (Comprehensive TeX Archive Network) site like ftp.dante.de. You should get two collections: the fonts collection from fonts/cmcyralt and the styles and hyphenation rules from macros/latex/contrib/others/cmcyralt. Note: Make sure you have the Sauter package installed, since cmcyralt requires some fonts from it. You can get this package from CTAN site as well. Now you should do the following: 1. Put the new fonts to the TeX fonts tree. On my system (Slackware 2.2) I created a cmcyralt directory in the /usr/lib/texmf/fonts/cm/. Create the src, tfm, and vf subdirectories in it. Put there .mf, .tfm, and vf files respectively. 2. Put the font driver files (*.fd) from the styles archive to the appropriate place (in my case it was /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/fd). 3. Put the style files (*.sty) to the appropriate LaTeX styles directory (in my case /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/sty). Now the hyphenation setup. This requires to remake the LaTeX base file. 1. The file hyphen.cfg contains the directives for both English and Russian hyphenation. Extract the one for Russian and place it to the LaTeX hyphenation config file lthyphen.ltx. In my case, that file was in /usr/lib/texmf/tex/latex/latex-base. 2. Put the rhyphen.tex to the same directory. It is needed for making the new base file. Later, you can remove it. 3. Do 'make' in that directory. Don't for get to make a link from Makefile to Makefile.unx. During the make process check the output. There should be a message: Loading hyphenation patterns for Russian. If everything goes OK, you will get the new latex.fmt in that direc¡ tory. Put it to the appropriate place, where the previous one was (like /usr/lib/texmf/ini/). Don't forget to save the previous one!. This is it. The installation is complete. Try processing the examples found in the styles archive. If you are to create the PostScript files without any problems, then everything is OK. Now, to use Cyrillic in LaTeX, prepend your document with the following directive: \usepackage{cmcyralt} For more details, see the README file in the cmcyralt styles archive. Note: if you do have problems with the examples, provided you have installed the things right, then probably your TeX system hasn't been installed correctly. For example, during my first try, every attempt to create the .pk files for the russian fonts failed (MakeTeXPK stage). A substantial investigation discovered some implicit conflict between the localfont and ljfour METAFONT configurations. It used to work before, but kept crashing after the cmcyralt installation. Contact your local TeX guru - TeX is very (sometimes too much) complicated to reconfigure it without any prior knowledge. 5.2. Using the CyrTUG package You can obtain the CyrTUG package from the SunSite archive <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/academic/russian-studies/Software>. Get the files CyrTUGfonts.tar.gz, CyrTUGmacro.tar.gz, and hyphen.tar.Z. The process of installation doesn't differ from the previous one. 6. Miscellaneous utilities setup Generally, to set the certain utility up to handle the Cyrillic requires just to allow the 8 bit input. In some cases it is required to tell the application to show the extended ASCII characters in their "native" form. 6.1. bash Three variables should be set on order to make bash understand the 8-bit characters. The best place is ~/.inputrc file. The following should be set: set meta-flag on set convert-meta off set output-meta on 6.2. csh/tcsh The following should be set in .cshrc: setenv LC_CTYPE iso_8859_5 stty pass8 If you don't have the POSIX stty (impossible for Linux), then replace the last call to the following: stty -istrip cs8 6.3. emacs The minimal cyrillic support in emacs is done by adding the following calls to one's .emacs (provided that the Cyrillic character set support is installed for console or X respectively): (standard-display-european t) (set-input-mode (car (current-input-mode)) (nth 1 (current-input-mode)) 0) This allows the user to view and input documents in Russian. However, such mode is not of a big convenience because emacs doesn't recognize the usual keyboard commands while set in Cyrillic input mode. There are a number of packages which use the different approach. They don't rely on the input mode stuff established by the environment (either X or console. Instead, they allow the user to switch the input mode by the special emacs command and emacs itself is responsible for re-mapping the character set. The author took a chance to look at three of them. The russian.el package by Valery Alexeev (ava@math.jhu.edu) allows the user to switch between cyrillic and regular input mode and to translate the contents of a buffer from one Cyrillic coding standard to another (which is especially useful while reading the texts imported from MS-DOG). The rustable.el (sorry, I don't know the author of it) adds the syntax rules of Cyrillic codeset to emacs (words' bounds, case change rules etc.) These packages can be found at most Emacs-Lisp archives. Another one is the package remap which tries to make such support more generic. This package is written by Per Abrahamsen (abraham@iesd.auc.dk) and is accessible at ftp.iesd.auc.dk. As for the author's opinion, I would suggest to start using the russian.el package because it is very easy to setup and use. 6.4. ispell Check the sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/academic/russian-studies/Software for the russian dictionary created by Neal Dalton (nrd@cray.com) for the ispell package. 6.5. less So far, less doesn't support the KOI-8 character set, but the following environment variable will do the job: LESSCHARSET=latin1 6.6. Netscape Set the following resource: *documentFonts*registry: koi8 6.7. rlogin Use 'rlogin -8' 7. Printing To print the text files containing the Russian characters using on PostScript printers, you need two things: the fonts and the 8bit-aware software able to print the texts using those fonts. The best package to print the text files in PostScript is a2ps by Evan Kirshenbaum (evan@csli) and Miguel Santana (miguel@imag.imag.fr). The last version is 8bit-aware. You can get it from imag.imag.fr:/archive/postscript/. Check the sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/academic/russian-studies/Software/ in order to obtain the Cyrillic PostScript fonts. Also, there is a lot of fonts in the SimTel <ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/SimTel/> collection. 8. Useful Tools 8.1. User's tools There are number of programs able to convert from KOI-8 to Alt and back. You can even use the special mode for emacs (see section ``Emacs''). One nice standalone package is translit. It is available at the SunSite archive <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/academic/russian- studies/Software>. This package is capable of converting between different formats including the KOI-8 and the Alt ones. 8.2. Programmer's tools So far, I explained the ways to make the programs accept and display the Cyrillic codeset. However the full localization of the system comprises much more. All discussed above is not enough. The system should be friendly for a user who doesn't necessarily speak English. In my own opinion, it is not a big deal to become familiar with English at the level of the programs' messages. However, it is not quite fair to require it. Thus, the next level of localization requires the programs to be customizable to the requirements of different languages and data representation habits. Before, that was done by developing some abstraction of the messages to output from the program's code. Now, such mechanism is (more or less) standardized. And, of course, there are free implementations of it! The good news is that GNU finally adopted the way of making the internationalized applications. Ulrich Drepper (drepper@ipd.info.uni- karlsruhe.de) developed a package gettext. This package is available at all GNU sites like prep.ai.mit.edu <ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/>. It allows you to develop programs in the way that you can easily make them support more languages. I don't intend to describe the programming techniques, especially because the gettext package is delivered with excellent manual. So, if you are developing programs which output messages (have you ever developed any program which didn't?), then don't be lazy to put a little (yes, really little) effort to make your program locale-aware. Request for collaboration: If you want to learn the gettext package and to contribute to the GNU project simultaneously; or even if you just want to contribute, then you can do it! GNU goes international, so all the utilities are being made locale-aware. The problem is to translate the messages from English to Russian (and other languages if you'd like). Basically, what one has to do is to get the special .po file consisting of the English messages for a certain utility and to append each message with it's equivalent in Russian. Ultimately, this will make the system speak Russian if the user wants it! For more details and further directions contact Ulrich Drepper (drepper@ipd.info.uni-karlsruhe.de <mailto:drepper@ipd.info.uni- karlsruhe.de>). 9.
