Georgia Tobin of the Metafoundry (part of the OCLC) has but together a
TeX compatible Slavic font in METAfont.  There is both a "Time-Roman"
version and a "Helvetica" version.

Details on obtaining such fonts has always been rather sketchy.  I
know that some of their other fonts are distributed through just a few
companies (one in the US is Personal-TeX).  However, I haven't seen
the Slavic fonts from Personal-TeX.  Perhaps someone else has more
info on obtaining fonts from the Metafoundry.
