>I am looking for any Russian Metafont sources I can find...

I'm aware of 2 sets of Cyrillic fonts written in METAFONT (84) and available
w/o charge: WNCYR, developed at U of Washington, Seattle, US, by Tom Ridgeway;
and CMCYR, developed at the Institute for High Energy Physics in USSR by
Alexander Samarin and Nina Gonti. (A certain dishonest individual's "vector
Cyrillic" appears to be a rip-off of WNCYR.) You are not saying whether you can
use FTP to get files; if you can, they can be obtained from several sites
including ymir; if not, you can get them from the mail server
LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU: just send it mail that says:
GET WNCYRMF PACKAGE
GET CMCYRMF PACKAGE
in its body. (Note: the files are e-mailed to whatever your mailer puts in your
'From:' field, so make sure there's no confusion with .OZ vs .OZ.AU, etc).

CMCYR only has the 32 Russian letters; WNCYR has extra Serbian, Ukrainian,
obsolete, etc letters.

The same mail server contains other files of interest to Russian TeX users
(including hyphenation patterns), which can also be FTPed from other sites.
Send GET RUSTEX-L FILELIST to the LISTSERV for the list of files.

It also hosts a mailing list RusTeX-L for discussing the use of TeX for Russian
texts (and often other aspects of Russian text processing). (Claimer: I am the
list administrator.) You may find it helpful to read the list's archives if you
try to install Cyrillic fonts.

Please feel free to send me e-mail if you need more info.
