Hi Aleksandr,

Anything that can be typeset in LaTeX can be put into an ePiX file. :)

Put the LaTeX code into a label, being sure to double the backslashes:

---(snip)---
// myfile.xp
/* -*-ePiX-*- */
#include "epix.h"
using namespace ePiX;

int main()
{
  picture(P(-1,-1), P(1,1), "2x2in");

  begin();
  label(P(0,0), "Zdravstvu\\u{i}te!");
  end();
}
---(snip)---

epix will compile the file into a form LaTeX can use.

If you use elaps to compile eps files and need extra packages to compile 
your LaTeX code, they can be supplied on the command line:

elaps -p cyrillic myfile.xp

(One package per "-p" flag.)

Please post if this doesn't work.

Best,
Andy
