This package is written to support cyrillic fonts of LH family created
by CyrTUG ("Mir" publishers, Moscow, Russia, cyrtug@mir.msk.su). This
package is not an official LaTeX2e support by CyrTUG. I wrote it
"for the time being" until CyrTUG releases its LaTeX2e support. Right
now, LH family is supported only in LaTeX2.09.

In order to use the package you mush insert:

		\usepackage{lh}
		
into your LaTeX2e document.

REMEMBER!! LH family is compiled using ALT coding scheme, so if you are
using KOI-8 (which I certainly recommend, at least under Unix) you
either have to edit .vf files by hand or recode your document on a fly.
This can be easily done by translit that is to be found in:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/academic/russian-studies/Softwatr/translit.tar.gz

The style redifines all major LaTeX fonts and introduces the following
commands:

		\vtt{ } 	Typewriter font
		\fib{ }		Fibonacci font
		\inh{ }		aka cminch10
		\fun{ }		funny font
		
Of course, all the \large, \Huge, etc. commands work as well. The package
also correctly redifines math fonts -- you may use cyrillic in math mode
as well.

The fonts lhssq8 and lhssqi8 are not assigned to anything (as in Computer
Modern family) because I do not know what to do with them.

This distribution also includes russian.sty that I have stolen from
cmcyralt package and edited a bit. This style redifines chapter names,
section names, etc.

Why would you use LH family instead of Samarin's CMCYR? Well, the two
families are of a similar quality but, the primary reason is that
A. Samarin and N. Glonti do not support their fonts anymore. At least
I haven't heared about it from anyone. LH family is supported by
CyrTUG -- on official brunch of TUGboat, so I personally recommend to
stick with them.
