Proposal: Cyrillic fonts for XWin (Attn: xorg-x11* maintainer)


Hi, Alexander,

The Cyrillic fonts currently distributed on Cygwin are those from the 
X.org project (or, rather, Cronyx).  They are missing some encodings 
(particularly, CP-1251), and that makes them harder to use with Windows.  
There is an alternative set of fonts, that from the CYR-RFX project, that 
seems to work quite well with X and has multiple encodings.  Would you 
consider distributing those fonts as the xorg-x11-fcyr package, instead of 
the Cronyx fonts?  If you aren't immediately against the idea, I can work 
on the packaging.
	Igor
