I wonder if anyone could point me to a source of good quality Cyrillic
fonts downloading to my HP LaserJect II. Ideally, I would like them in
the following styles: Times Roman, Helvetica, and italic variants of both.
In addition to using WordPerfect 5.1, I also have a program called LePrint
which uses scaleable master fonts, so such fonts for it would also be
useful.
Much thanks in advance for any suggestions.

However, I am not sure whether they are in fact selling them in North America; friends of mine in Dallas actually bought them here in Vienna and had them shipped to the US, since the various H-P 800-numbers seemed ignorant about it. This was about six months ago, so H-P in the US and Canada might know about it now. If you cannot get it in North America, I might be able to arrange getting them for you here; we'd have to discuss how to handle payment. -- Wolf N. Paul, Int.

You can also get some reasonable quality (as far as I can tell) ones intended for use with TeX (see my posting about Metafont fonts in comp.fonts and comp.text.tex). These are Metafont files, and can thus be used to make fonts at any size for many devices, if you have Metafont and the necessary converter (pk2sfp for example). I can mail you HP-format versions of the Washington Cyrillic, for example, in various sizes. You can probably also pick them up from mims-iris: ftp: mims-iris.waterloo.edu [129.97.129.116] laser fonts & utilities if you have anonymous ftp access. Lee -- Liam R. E.

A few months ago I got a big bunch of soft HP fonts from Mir publishers. These were developed in the institute of polygaphy in moscow, and match tr, helv, letter gothic, and tt, have regular, bold and italic, and come in variety of point sizes. Mir people have no objection to my giving them to people, but I'm not sure about the original author. i sent them to someone who posted them to Compu$serve. I can't put them to LISTSERV@UBVM (where the RUSTEX-L directory has a lot of stuff related to Cyrillic text processing, including list archives) because they're so huge --- after archiving and uuencoding they take 600K, and we're not supposed to send over 100K over BITNET, I think. If someone can figure out a way to put these fonts on mims-iris or some other archive, I'd like to hear. Dimitri Vulis Administrator of RusTeX-L, Russian TeX and Cyrillic text processing list
