+typesetting Russian and bilingual English-Russian documents, using the
+@code{lh} fonts and without the benefit of Babel's language-switching
+mechanisms.  The packages (@code{hcyralt} and @code{hcyrwin} for use under
+emTeX, and @code{hcyrkoi} for use under teTeX} provide mappings between the
+input encoding and the font encoding, which is described as OT1.  The way this
+is done does not match the way @code{inputenc} would do the job, for output
+via fontenc to one of the T2 series of font encodings.")
