I think I'm hitting the same issue on an up-to-date installation of 10.10. What I did, essentially, is: 1. install emacs, org-mode, texlive-latex-base, texlive-latex-recommended 2. create an org file with Cyrillic characters, in UTF-8 3. request org-export to PDF
Here's what I'm getting for the very first cyrillic character, in the Shell interaction emacs buffer: This is pdfTeX, Version 3.1415926-1.40.10 (TeX Live 2009/Debian) restricted \write18 enabled. entering extended mode (/home/deepfire/src/pyzzle/doc/documentation.tex LaTeX2e <2009/09/24> Babel <v3.8l> and hyphenation patterns for english, usenglishmax, dumylang, noh yphenation, loaded.
