Vasily-

You'll have to forgive = my ignorance regarding foreign character sets, but I think that Erich conve= rted a Cyrillic character set into a pcb font. If that would work for you, = it would be pretty easy to get that into the font branch I've been work= ing on, and you could give that a try. It doesn't solve the footprint t= ext problem, but it could give you access to other fonts.

If you're interested, please let me know and I can try to help you wi= th it.

Thanks,

Is there an easy way to design a footprint with a text labels on silkscreen= ?
All my efforts end up when PCB removes all text, but leaves pure geometry elements (lines, arcs etc).

Not really, an element can have only 3 text objects, from which only 1 is v= isible at any given time.

I think this is due to the way PCB deals with text labels. It includes a whole font definition in pcb sketch. When I try to combine all pieces to a<= br> element, it removes all text.

It's not related to fonts. It's the limited footprint model.

I thought the proper way is to somehow convert text to vector lines.
Am I doing it wrong?=C2=A0

YOu are not doing it wrong, I think currently your only option is that conv= ersion.

Should I draw text line-by-line by hand?
Should I exclude all text from footprint? And place it only during PCB
design?

And, by the way, is there a possibility to change font? It lacks russian characters.

You can replace the default single font. As long as pcb supports only 1 fon= t, you'll probably have trouble packign both russian and english alphab= et in the available symbol space.
