Cyrillic fonts on different devices

The app is good and useful but there is a problem with Cyrillic fonts. When I type Russian text on my iPad, I see the text in Editor and in the generated PDF. But when I open my project on my computer (running on Windows 10), I see question marks: ????? And vice versa: I can type Russian text on the computer, it will be ok, but on my iPad it is showed as question marks. As I understand, the problem is in character encodings used on my computer and on my iPad. I hope the problem can be solved somehow.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your report. Please note that VerbTeX uses UTF-8 as file encoding (which you should also for your documents on your computer). As soon as you use UTF-8 it will work fine. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.

Problems with Cyrillic symbols

Hello! Please, could you explain how to set two languages for the Document: Russian and polish?

Thanks in advance

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your report. Simply use the babel package and add \usepackage[russian,polish]{babel} to the preamble. In you document use \selectlanguage{russian} ... \selectlanguage{polish}. Please contact us directly if you have any questions.

saying goodbye within the first half an hour of use

i caame up verbisus looking for a decent way to access my latex projects from my ipad, i got an account from win web version, entered the web version to import my projects and see how things work here.

so, i was unable to import a single project, i checked and double checked the content of .zip files, i tried to unzip them and zip again, i tried different document types and so on. all projects are unable to be imported, no clarification regarding what the actual problem is.

then i tried to create a new project and simply copy-paste my content in there, i tried an article class and a cv, didn’t even bother to try a beamer, since neither of those two worked out. all of the projects i tried to compile are perfectly fine, i compiled them with no problem on multiple systems and TeX editors, either. online or offline. and, further, the log is completely unable to be understood: there are only warnings, no errors, yet still the documents fail to

thus, it was a promising beginning, but goodbye guys, good luck, see you in the future, probably, if you manage to actually improve before the hybrid of red lion and green leaf come up with thier mobile systems solution. — cheers

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your report.
Please note that since the web version currently doesn't support complex folder structures you need to provide a .zip file with flat folder hierarchy. Anyway, we'd highly suggest to use Local Mode since you're already working on an iOS device.
All your described types (article, cv, beamer) should work without problems. We just tested it and everything seems to work fine.
Please note that the log is the output of the PDF generation. Please contact us directly as every function you described should work. Could you provide us with some more details on your devices and your projects? Maybe you could send us a sample project that doesn't work so we can take a detailed look at it. Please contact us directly so we can solve your problems.
