Does anyone know if one should use small caps for Roman numerals
(referring to centuries, etc.) in a Russian text? - It looks a bit
strange, since the Cyrillic alphabet consists mainly of x-height letters.
I'm using Adobe's Minion Cyrillic.

Regards,
Ingunn

BTW: Try YA-NewsWatcher 2.3.1 - it supports the Cyrillic script.

Russian text generally uses capital letters (not small caps) for Roman numerals.
