Well, we should probably work together on extending Bitstream fonts
with those then, I would say.  There's also a complete set of URW-cyr
fonts (check ftp.gnome.ru, and it's also part of ghostscript 8.01
fonts release, or something), and there's a FreeFonts project on
Savannah that aims to support as large number of languages as they
can.  Also, there's CM Unicode effort (Computer Modern by Don Knuth).

Can I count you in to help us (Daf, myself) there with Azerbaijani?
We've already extended them somewhat (Daf did that for Welsh and
Catalan I think, I added Cyrillic for Sans style), and I found out
that there's much interest in it (hear that Daf? ;).

Cheers,
