[Groff] Installing Russian Type-1 Fonts

Hello, all

I want to use Russian KOI8-encoded Type 1 fonts with
Groff. Provided that I am using UTF-8-encoded  Groff
sourcres,  does  it mean that I should create my own
font_map file in order to  specify  the  translation
from  Groff  internal  characters, used in the UTF-8
mode, into PostScript character names?

More generally, does the map_file required  to  pro-
duce  correct native Groff font files from .afm met-
rics depend on whether Groff  is  to  be  used  with
-KUTF-8  option or not? I think it does, becuase the
internal character names  of  the  Cyrillic  letters
will be defferent. Am I right?

Should  I use Cyrillic character names  as specified
here:

What does the encoding of a PostScript font mean, if
the characters can be accessed by name?

Thanks in advance,
Anton
