XeTeX ⇒ XeLaTeX + NonUTF encoding + ListOfFigures

[fomin]

Hello all.

I have problem with processing with XeLaTeX files in Cyrillic "cp1251" encoding.
Let's consider attached minimal working sample (see attached file for consistency).

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{xecyr}
\XeTeXdefaultencoding "cp1251"
\XeTeXinputencoding   "cp1251"
\usepackage[english,russian]{babel}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Calibri}

\begin{document} 

\begin{figure}
Figure 1/Иллюстрация 1
\caption{Figure 1/Иллюстрация 1}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure} 
Figure 1/Иллюстрация 2
\caption{Figure 1/Иллюстрация 2}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
Figure 1/Иллюстрация 3
\caption{Figure 1/Иллюстрация 3}
\end{figure}

\listoffigures
\end{document}

After processing by xelatex we have 3-page PDF.

The problem appears on page 3, where \listoffigures expanded.
Captions in the List of figures expanded in wrong encoding ("UTF-8" over "cp-1251").

The xxx.lof file in "UTF-8" encoding.

The same problem with
\listofalgorithms
\listoffigures
\listoftables

What can I do?

Thanks all in advance,
Sincerely, Stas Fomin

AFAIK, Xe(La)TeX does not work with other encodings but with utf8 only, so you really should use utf8. Also, you should use polyglossia package for multilanguage support instead of using babel. Depending on which language you've chosen to be the "main" one, your LOF will be titled as "List of figures" or "Список иллюстраций". Take a look at polyglossia documentation for more infos. E.g.:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont{Calibri}% I don't have this font so I tested with another one. Make sure it supports russian/cyrillic.

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguage{russian}

\begin{document} 

\begin{figure}

Figure 1/Иллюстрация 1
\caption{Figure 1/Иллюстрация 1}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure} 
Figure 1/Иллюстрация 2
\caption{Figure 1/Иллюстрация 2}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
Figure 1/Иллюстрация 3
\caption{Figure 1/Иллюстрация 3}
\end{figure}

\listoffigures
\end{document}

Thank you.

Is it really not possible to work with xelatex and "cp1251" encoding?

We really tied to "cp1251":

• A lot of sources with ten years history under CVS
• Our team used TexnicCenter v1. (non-UTF).
  BTW, TexnicCenter-2 that can use UTF, but still very buggy (alpha version).
• Also we successfully use xelatex and "cp1251"-sources for producing beamer slides.

May be some magic options or workaround exists for this?

I really don't know. If you don't get any replies here, you may try XeTeX mailing list.
