Greetings!  Does anyone know of a public domain russian (cyrillic)
postscript font?  Specifically, I found a directory with the following
contents at an anonymous ftp site:

lib/postscript/fonts/Times:

bits.r
greek.r
italic
italic.a
italic.r
rest.r
roman
roman.a
roman.r
russian.r

The roman and italic files are in the following format:

(fonts/Times/roman.r)
lib
run
(fonts/Times/roman.a)
lib
run

while the .r and .a files begin as follows:

CharStrings
/a
<C53D
453E
443E
443D
453C
473B
4B3B
. . .

I'm afraid I'm quite ignorant of the details of postscript, but it
seems as if there is enough here to create russian postscript fonts.
Can anyone help here?  

Many Thanks!

Camm
