Flowstream, Fluent Fonts and Casady Ware, are all fonts the same
fonts, as far as i understand. They are usable for simple purposes,
but they are definitively far from the Adobe standard of fonts.  For
example, the serifs in their "Cyrillic" font, are like slab serifs,
like on a typewriter. Maybe that is "Sovjet standard" what can i say?
If you make your final run-out on a low-resolution laser printer, it
might be allright.


If you still are interested in "something", they have the following
types of fonts:

Glasnost Light (tm) -- Very modern Sans-serif, all strokes same thickness.
Glasnost Demibold
Glasnost Extrabold

Murmansk (tm) -- Also sans serif, but with different width strokes

Cyrillic (tm) - Very simple serif font.
Cyrillic Bold
Cyrillic Italic
Cyrillic BoldItalic

Odessa Script (tm) - A "script" type font.

I just wonder how you can trademark the "Cyrillic" name?
