This port tries to follow numerous suggestions and HOWTOs posted on the
web about printing and viewing PostScript files containing Russian
characters (in KOI8 encoding, are there others?).
In installs the fonts taken from
ftp://ftp.kapella.gpi.ru/pub/cyrillic/psfonts/
into their own ${PREFIX}/CyrPS directory, and places the
infonts.dir/fonts.scale there for your X-server's perusal.
If you happen to have ghostscript installed, it will also append its
Fontmap file to print/display with this fonts by default.
Note, however, that this will NOT make your PostScript printers print in
Russian, since they have their own PostScript interpreters built in. Use
`koify' port for to deal with those.
