Old Church Slavonic fonts for Windows are available
in the anonymous ftp archive:

ftp.amu.edu.pl/pub/Serbo-Croat/oscfonts.zip

Here is some information on the fonts.

The True Type Fonts for Old Church Slavic Cyrillic and
Glagolitic fonts use exactly the same keyboard mapping
This means that you can write a text in Old Church Slavic
Cyrillic script, and simply mark that text and choose
Glagolitic font to get the transcription. This operation can
be done in the opposite direction Glagolitic -> Cyrillic.

The fonts use Russian keyboard mapping. The principle is that
the letters which exist in Russian are at the same places as
in Russian, and those which are not have been assigned to the
numbers (1-0).

The fonts are intended primarily for Windows, and can be
used in teaching glagolitic scripture. The Croatian version
of the Glagolitic script will be released soon.
