When I was at Stanford, I talked to a former OCLC employee and 
acquaintance of Georgia Tobin. Apparently, OCLC does not wish
to be in the business of typeface distribution and the status
of all the Metafoundry fonts is in doubt. Also, since the fonts
were developed using "old" MF, they cannot be regenerated by
the end-user (for e.g., tuning to the output device).

However, the University of Washington's Cyrillic font is now
available. It is being distributed by the AMS as a replacement
to the old AMS Cyrillic. I haven't seen any samples of it
myself, but I'm told that it's quite good. Also, the sources
are available on request. Contact Ralph Youngen, rey@math.ams.com
for more details.
