How do I use cyrillic fonts?

["Marcelo E. Magallon" <mmagallo@efis.ucr.ac.cr>]

Hi,

	somebody here wants to use cyrillic fonts under X11
(Emacs 20, really). I have installed the xfntcyr package, but
Emacs doesn't "see" the fonts. It lists iso-8859-5 as the font
for cyrillic instead of koi8-r. The option on the menu that says
koi8-r (display faces, or something like that) doesn't show the
characters, but blocks.

I know emacs can "read" cyrillic, and display that on screen, but
*I* don't know how.

I'm sure he'll ask me eventually how to use TeX (or LaTeX) with
cyrillic fonts... any pointers?

As a side note, can GNUS use the cyrillic fonts?

I'll compile the answers, and try do put them together for
inclusion on the faq.

Any help will be much welcomed.
