Hello Karl, thanks a lot for your prompt and helpful reply. Now I am trying to figure out how I can obtain Cyrillic text with vector (Type 1) fonts, when using utf8x inputenc (without using scalable-cyrfonts-tex). The attached test file produces a PDF file with Type 3 bitmap fonts, when compiled with pdflatex... Any hint would be appreciated.
