	Speaking of which, does anybody have any decent Russian fonts? For the
current version of TeX there are some Russian TeX meta-fonts, but they're
not at all easy to use. In "old TeX" we used until recently there was a
Cyrillic font that used ligatures to "automatically" pick up the right
letters.  For example, "Khrushchev" came out 6 letters "KH-r-u-shch-e-v".

	Does anybody besides us actually use the Cyrillic Hershey fonts from
NBS in some sort of graphical system? (And yes, ours uses the ligatures!)
We have some contacts with Russian Geophysicists, and it's good PR when you're
trying to help them convince the Soviet Gov't to let you traipse around taking
rock samples in Siberia to annotate your tectonic maps of Siberia-Alaska in
Russian! [If anybody's interested, we have the old "Hershey font distribution"
on hanauma.stanford.edu's anon ftp.]
