Thanks to Jacob Gore, Jay Sekora, Joe Kaiping, and Tom Rokicki for
answering numerous questions.  The following from Joe got me moving
forward, so that now I can try the others' advice.  [More later.]

   If you have a .mf file the command:
      virmf \&plain "\mode=nexthi;\mag=1;\input cmcyr10.mf"
   should create a .tfm and a .gf file for you.

It did.  I got:

   Font metrics written on cmcyr10.tfm.
   Output written on cmcur10.400gf (100 characters, 14160 bytes).
