I have used the "mcyr" Cyrillic fonts successfully in LaTeX documents.
(That is, the existing mcyr*.*pk fonts we already had.) When I needed
to create new size fonts for our 400dpi laser printer, I realized we
didn't have the METAFONT files. So, I ftp'd them from labrea.stanford.edu.
However, upon inspection of the METAFONT files, I saw they were entirely
different in format from the other METAFONT files we had on the system. 
I tried running METAFONT on them, but it did not recognize them. (Made
for one heck of a *.log file!) 

Now that you know my problem, here are my questions:

1. Were those *.mf files made for an older version of METAFONT? If so, are
	the differences between the versions large enough to prohibit
	changing the files to match the new version? Are there programs
	available to do this "upgrade"?

2. Are there any new mcyr*.mf files out there which can be understood
	by my version of METAFONT? If so, where? (I am familiar with
	labrea.stanford.edu, sun.soe.clarkson.edu, and june.cs.washington.edu -
	I know the "new" versions aren't there.)

Thanks in advance!
Do svedanya!
