I have just whipped up a reasonable TrueType Russian font using
fontographer, the "Courier New" in windows, and my old Russian
typewriter.  The characters are defined to match the CRS tables
of Russian characters, which as far as I can tell match the 
KOI-8 standard used in the former Soviet Union.

If this group has some preferred FTP site, I'd be happy to zap
this font up, although I'm not sure if it would be 100% legal
to send the English characters, since they're copyrighted.  Alternately,
I could create a "Russian-only" version with just my characters.

Anyhow, now that I have a font editor, I plan to create an entire
library of English-Russian fonts, based on the standard families and
some of the nicer Russian familes (like "Izvestia," "25th Party Congress,"
and "CPSU.")  Ant interest out there?  Any place to archive this
stuff?
