This package makes the fonts of the package scalable-cyrfonts available to the X server. Via fonts.alias it provides scalable analogues to the fonts in the packages xfonts-bolkhov and xfonts-cronyx. This package does not contain any fonts itself but only symbolic links to the fonts from the package scalable-cyrfonts. Please note that for proper reencoding into different Cyrillic encodings this package requires capable X server or font server. This means that you have to use the modular X server from the package xserver-xfree86. If you had to use some of the old X servers, you should make these fonts available to the X server via font server. Note also that the Unicode support for Type1 fonts of the `type1' backend of XFree86 is quiet limited. If you need proper Unicode support you will have to use the `freetype' backend of XFree86 version 4.3 or next. -- Anton Zinoviev
