[Novice Alert!]

I'm in need of a Cyrillic Sans-Serif font of good quality for a reasonable
price (and no, I really don't know what a reasonable price would be!).
This is a font that would be down-loaded to 2 different laser printers from
a VAX-VMS system, so a cartrige type font won't work, I need it in a data
file that I can include into my programs. I also need metric info. I've
never bought a font before, and don't really know what I'm doing here. I
don't read any PC or MAC magazines, but I could probably lay my hands on
some if I knew which to look at.

Both printers will, of course, handle type 1 fonts. I imagine that's what
I need, as I need good quality, but I don't really know for sure. I don't
actually have a laser printer yet, btw, so even if I found a PD font, I
couldn't evaluate it yet :-(. (Of course that doesn't mean I'm not
interested, just that I'd want testimonials.)

Please send me contact info for vendors, or places to look for ads, or
(especially) specific information on a particular font, and where I can
get it. Vendor responses are more than welcome.

This is probably such a common question, email me the answers. I'll
distribute to anyone that wants them, or summarize to the group if there
are lots of requests.
