The EXP technical wordprocessor (Wadsworth) has an HP Cyrillic font, but I'm not sure if it's available separately. WordPerfect has a Russian version in the works also.

The resulting MS-DOS has an additional code page 880 (as well as the usual 437, 850, etc) which contains Russian characters placed in accordance with Soviet GOST. You can edit Russian text WYSIWYGly in almost any editor you like. The hack can be obtained, among other places, from SIMTEL20 as PD:<MSDOS.SCREEN>CYRILIC2.ARC. I am the administrator of the RusTeX-L mailing list. If you are interested in something more complicated than just russian letters on screen + keyboard (such as Russian TeX (fonts+hyphenation patterns), or Russian add-ons to WordPerfect, or HP-format soft Cyrillic fonts), take a look at its archives on LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU, where those things have been discussed. Also I'll be happy to add you to the mailing list if you're interested. Dimitri Vulis CUNY GC Math DLV@CUNYVMS1.BITNET
