        You weren't looking hard enough ;).

	ATM Light (the free version that ONLY does Type 1 rendering 
on OS platforms that don't include it natively, but doesn't have the 
font management features of it's commercial cousin ATM Deluxe) can be 
found at <http://www.adobe.com/products/atmlight/main.html>.

	In that case, no!  Adobe makes some of their fonts free, but 
I don't believe these are - at least not the Cyrillic versions that 
it sounds like you want.

	Just to be picky, ATM is NOT integrated into those OS's - but 
they do include native Type 1 rendering.
