+I have spent some while trying to look at Cyrillic encoding in
+PostScript fonts, partly to make Lucida Cyrillic available.
+While doing that I also looked at Monotype Times.
+
+What I have done is create:
+
+ a) OT2enc.def and OT2wncyr.fd files to make Washington Cyrillic work
+ in normal LaTeX.
+
+ b) fontinst .mtx file for Cyrillic glyph names, and .etx file for
+ OT2 encoding; these in two versions, one for the names as found in
+ Monotype Times Cyrillic, and one for names in Lucida Cyrillic
+ (AFII numbers, whatever they may be)
+
+ c) a script (go) to run all the Monotype and Lucida fonts and make the metrics
+
+ d) dvips map files for both families.
+
+The result is a pretty good match for Lucida, and an almost perfect
+one for Monotype Times. The only thing missing in the latter (I pull
+in a few characters from the corresponding roman font) is the strange
+mis-shaped breve at '044 in Washington Cyrillic.
+
+Note that i have left the Y&Y names for Lucida Cyrillic alone as the `raw' names
+because I couldnt be bothered to rename them
+
+Have fun
