The ParaType PT Sans and PT Serif font families were developed as
part of the "Public Types of Russian Federation" project. The main
objective of the project is to allow the peoples of Russia to read
and write their native languages using free/libre fonts.
In addition to standard Western, Central European, and Cyrillic code
pages, the fonts contain characters of all title languages of the
Russian Federation.
PT Sans is based on Russian sans serif types of the second part of
the XX century, but at the same time has a very distinctive features
of modern humanistic design. The family consists of 8 styles: 4
basic styles, 2 caption styles for small sizes, and 2 narrow styles.
PT Serif is a transitional serif face with humanistic terminals
designed for use together with PT Sans. It consists of 6 styles: 4
basic styles, and 2 caption styles for small sizes.
The fonts were released by ParaType, and designed by Alexandra
Korolkova, Olga Umpeleva and Vladimir Yefimov.

KchmViewer is a chm (MS HTML help file format) viewer. Unlike most existing
CHM viewers for Unix, it uses Trolltech's Qt widget library, and does not

The main advantage of KchmViewer is non-english language support. Unlike
others, KchmViewer in most cases correctly detects help file encoding,
correctly shows tables of context of russian, korean, chinese and japanese
help files, and correctly searches in non-english help files.

Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and
phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible.
To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that
information to optimally schedule review times. With a minimal amount
of effort, you can greatly increase the amount of material you remember,
making study more productive, and more fun.
While Anki can be used for studying anything, it also ships with special
features designed to make studying Japanese and English easier: integrated
dictionary lookups, missing kanji reports, and more. Sample decks are also
provided for Russian.
