A R E   there cyrillic fonts available for Bitsream Facelift or Adobe
ATM for Windows?  I think I know Bitstream does not produce a cyrillic
font, I am not sure of Adobe.

Actually, Bitstream does have a Times-Roman style Cyrillic font, but
for some reason have chosen not to retail it. It is available to 
resellers, and the price I have heard quoted is astronomical.

Urban Applied Science in Newark, NJ (uunet!urban!support) sells a
package called "Leverage", which is a DWB/JetRoff publishing system,
and they offer a Russian version with Bitstream fonts in *.pk format
bitmaps. They might be able to tell you how they got the fonts from
Bitstream, and how much it cost.

Bitstream is supposed to be coming out with Cyrillic fonts sometime in
the next few months.  I wanted to suggest trying out the Publisher's Powerpak
by Atech Software.  I've used their fonts for Windows 3.0, WordPerfect and 
Microsoft Word, and all work beautifully.
