Fluent Fonts. contains a Cyrillic set but its not as good as

Fluent Laser Fonts Volume #9  (Cyrillic)		List:$69.95+tax+ship

To quote from the Fluent Laser Font brochure:
Russian, Ukranian, Bulgarian, Serbian.  (All other words in Russian.)

Laser & plain Fluent Fonts use a different keyboard layout even though
the font name is the same.  The font bit patterns are different too.

Laser Fonts come as Cyrillic, Bold C, Italic C, and Bold Italic C as one happy
family.

Laser Fonts seems to also contain the OLD Russian letters (as I've been told).

I have had both (and some PD fonts) on my Mac but only the Laser Fonts now.
