You can also get some reasonable quality (as far as I can tell) ones
intended for use with TeX (see my posting about Metafont fonts in
comp.fonts and comp.text.tex).  These are Metafont files, and can thus be
used to make fonts at any size for many devices, if you have Metafont and
the necessary converter (pk2sfp for example).

I can mail you HP-format versions of the Washington Cyrillic, for example,
in various sizes.  You can probably also pick them up from mims-iris:
    ftp: mims-iris.waterloo.edu [129.97.129.116]  laser fonts & utilities
if you have anonymous ftp access.
