You need to substitute the postscript fonts with the Russian ones. Downlo= ad=20 the fonts using russian/koi8r-ps in ports if you don't have them yet. In order to make the printer always print using these fonts, you may want= to=20 delete the old fonts and edit the aliases file to alias Times->TimesNRCyr= MT,=20 etc. However, this is not nice; if you only need to print Russian occasionally= ,=20 run your document through a sed script like this: #!/bin/sh sed "s/Times-Roman/TimesNRCyrMT/g; \ s/Times-Bold/TimesNRCyrMT-Bold/g;\ s/Times-Italic/TimesNRCyrMT-Italic/g; \ s/Courier/CourierCyrPS/g;\ s/Helvetica/ArialCyrMT/g;"=20 =2E.. use=20 cat yourfile.ps | the_script | lpr If you often print russian, you can make a print filter apply the script=20 before sending the file to print.=20 Good luck.
