No support for Cyrillic #67

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
It is impossible to compile a LaTeX document with, for example, Russian
text in it.  By itself it produces no output whatsoever, while adding
\usepackage{cyrillic} command errors out, as Cyrillic package is not
available with the default compiler.

Here's a sample document:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{cyrillic}
\title{\LaTeX по-русски}
\date{}
\begin{document}
  \maketitle
  \LaTeX{} может говорить и по-русски.
 \end{document}

As far as I understand, modern way of using Cyrillic in LaTeX documents is like 
one 
below, but it doesn't work anyway. 

It would be awesome if you guys could add Cyrillic support! The instructions 
about 
Cyrillic support in LaTeX are given here: http://www.latex-
project.org/guides/cyrguide.pdf
texlive package for Cyrillic in Ubuntu are called texlive-lang-cyrillic

% Cyrillic document sample
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian,english]{babel}

\title{Заголовок документа} 
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Тестовый документ, подготовленный в \LaTeX
\end{document}

We'll be taking a look at this. Russian/Cyrillic isn't currently supported by 
the
LaTeX environment.

Do you mean *by your LaTeX environment* ? Because in general it is perfectly 
supported.

Okay. Are you running your LaTeX on AWS? If yes then do you know if one can 
configure 
a custom Linux image with texlive and all the necessary packages on AWS?

Yes actually you can. In LaTeX Lab, under Compiler -> Settings you can point to 
any
compiler that follows the CLSI interface. I don't have an AWS image yet 
available. If
you're interested i can make this available once it's ready.

Yeah, I've seen the setting in LaTeX lab, the question was if I can configure 
AWS 
instance so that all Cyrillic stuff is there... Your comment that it is not 
supported 
by LaTeX environment -- is it just in your instance or absolutely everywhere on 
AWS? 
Sorry, I know next to nothing about the software configuration on AWS, that's 
why I am 
bugging you :)

It's just the particular instance. In fact, i believe TeX Live out of the box 
won't
have the Cyrillic support. Amazon is just hosting plain Ubuntu VMs with Apache, 
TeX
Live and CLSI. You can bring up any server, on Amazon or elsewhere, as long as 
it
exposes a CLSI interface, it will work just as well.
