I recommend Cyrillic II and Cyrillic II Sans Serif, which are produced by
Linguist's Software.  I think they cost about $100 each (though duplicate
copies cost less), and are more than adequate for standard word processing
needs.  They come with two keyboard files (AATSEEL transliterated and
"Soviet" standard), so you can choose which keyboard layout you want.  They
are bilingual, which means you switch between Cyrillic and Roman by
pressing a particular key (Caps lock, in this case).  Cyrillic and Roman
are equally weighted.  Accent marks are quite simple to use.  The font also
includes characters needed for other Slavic languages, and these characters
are accessible even without the requisite "Serbian" or "Bulgarian" keyboard
files.

You can contact them at:
