I did! So here it is:  ( sorry for the delay )

There seems to be two lines of solutions - The TeX way and regular 
PostScript fonts.

The TeX fonts seem to be free of charge and Scott Horne
 (..!harvard!yale!horne) promised to 
send me the fonts if I wanted them. Also Maverick
 has them.

PostScript fonts that are delivered for the Mac has font metrics
files that transcript can use and there are screenfonts for the
Mac included. These are convertible to fonts for the Sun. You need
a free program that I don't know the name of, but Dan Sahlin 
 has it.

Here comes the list of fonts.

Kirillitsa from CasadyWare. Sold by Mac dealers. 

Linguist Software has a font too. Mac dealers.

Devonian International, P.O. Box 2351, Montclair, CA 91763 
Has one that covers several slavonic languages and turkish.

Windsorgraphics, Kings House, Kings Arms Lane, Ringwood, Hampshire
BH24 1AH
Has one by name Laserperfect.

Per Ambrosiani by Slavic Institution, U of Stockholm 
Tel: +46 8 16 20 00  ( to the U ). 
He has made the font with Fontographer.

Educorp Inc. has one in their shareware/pd catalog...
Tel: 1-800-843-9497.

Casady & Greene, in Monterey, CA, have it.

In comp.text we saw that:

Raimund Riem, ZFE2KOM33, Siemens AG, Munich, West - Germany
mail: @riem!ztivax
Private address: R. Riem, Steinsdorfstrasse 6, D-8000 Muenchen 22
West Germany

has made some variants with Fontographer.
His address seems very strange to me. In the header it stood:
   (Habst du mein antwort bekommt?)

Well, that was a lot to choose between. Thank you very much
everyone.

By the way, if you need remaping of your Sun keyboard there
is a good program that is called Sunkeys. It works very well
for me.
