  1. Cyrillic fonts:
  2. Type A. Alt
  3. [Reference: codepage 866 (as given in Unicode 1.0, Vol 2, Appendix C).]
  4. The Alt fonts have the Cyrillic letters in the ranges
  5. 0200-0237: capitals, 0240-0257,0340-0357: lower case,
  6. 0360-0367: some additional letters.
  7. Here we have the alt* fonts (except that the positions 0362-0367 do not
  8. carry upper and lower case e, yi, short u).
  9. However, altc has some additional slavic characters
  10. (and fewer line drawing characters).
  11. Cyr_a8xN follows cp866 in the positions 0200-0257 and
  12. 0340-0357. This means that upper and lower case io
  13. (cp866 codes 0360, 0361) are also missing.
  14. Type B. Koi8
  15. [Reference: RFC 1489 for koi8-r, RFC 2319 for koi8-u]
  16. The koi8-r and koi8-u character sets are almost identical.
  17. For the 8 letters in koi8-u, not in koi8-r, see src/koi8.syms.h.
  18. The koi8* fonts here are the koi8 equivalents of the alt*
  19. fonts above; in particular, koi8c-8x16 includes koi8u but
  20. has additional slavic characters.
  21. koi8-14.psf follows koi8r in the positions 0300-0377
  22. (and has some iso-8859-5 symbols in 0240-0277,
  23. and yat, fita, izhitsa in 0200-0202, 0220-0222).
  24. In particular, it does not have the io and IO at
  25. 0243, 0263.

  28. and contributed koi8r-8x8.
  29. Type C. ISO 8859-5
  30. iso05.fN precisely follows iso-8859-5 in all positions
  31. where that norm defines a symbol.
  32. It has no symbols in the range 0200-0237.
  33. 880.cp follows iso-8859-5 in the positions 0240-0377
  34. except that the four symbols 0244, 0364, 0371, 0372
  35. [Ukrainian Cyrillic letter ie (upper and lower case),
  36. and Cyrillic small letter lje, nje] are missing.
  37. It has a few old Russian symbols in the range 0200-0202,
  38. 0220-222 (yat, fita, izhitsa).
  39. Thus, in spite of its name it has very little to do
  40. with the ibm cp880 (as described in GNU recode).
