I hereby request humbly that UTF-8 support be added to teTeX, available at http://www.unruh.de/DniQ/latex/unicode/. Спасибо большое.

Usata, we might want to look into this one, possibly get liquidx involved (he has a fair idea about utf-8 compared to me).
I have been working on this ebuild for two weeks now and actually I created an ebuild for it but the problem is I cannot get the expected result when I use it :( I suppose the ebuild is okay but it needs fonts to display/print correctly. So I'm creating cjk-latex-4.5.2.ebuild (it contains fonts for unicode-latex) but still I need some tweak to get things done.
Sounds like a good idea to me, well done.
I've just committed dev-tex/cjk-latex and dev-tex/latex-unicode. cjk-latex contains various CJK fonts for latex-unicode. If there are other fonts that you might need for latex-unicode, please open a new bug and we'll include them as well. (I tested latex-unicode with CJK fonts only)
