Exporting cyrillic documents to LaTeX/PDF

Exporting cyrillic documents to LaTeX/PDF

Hi all,

I have a problem exporting org-mode documents with cyrillic text to
LaTeX/PDF. As a result, Emacs says "PDF file produced with errors." and
only English text is displayed in resulting pdf, cyrillic chunks are
just omitted. 

Googling this topic gave me a bunch of contradictory ways to proceed but
none of them give me a desired result. Searching maillist archives helps
no further.

Could you please point me in more or less right direction, appropriate
keywords, etc?

Did you try with xelatex?  Try adding:

    #+latex_compiler: xelatex

Obviously, you must have a working xelatex system to begin with.  Lualatex
should also work.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus

Thanks Rasmus, it works!

xelatex solves the problem.

In case someone interested, here is the solution (Gentoo distro):
Add "app-text/texlive l10n_ru"
somewhere portage/package.use info lives
it will trigger "dev-texlive/texlive-langcyrillic" package installation 
(or install it directly if you wish).
