font question

[Tim Beasley]

Hi, y'all.

A  hopefully quick question.  A friend has run into a problem using the
(old) Sofija (Cyrillic) font:  the italics print out badly.  Why, I know.

The Big Question(s):

1.  Is there a free or cheap updated version of the Sofija font "out there"
somewhere that produces reasonable laserprint with normal, italics, bold,
and bold-italics?  TrueType, I presume.

2.  If not,  the follow-up question:  Is there a font-face with the same
encoding ("font-x"), so that he can just find everything in Sofija and
reformat it to "font-x"?

He's using Mac and I've migrated to PC-only in the last 2-3 years, but
never was great at Apple Cyrillic/Cyrillic II/etc. encodings.  I could
figure it out, with time, but his final dissertatin print-out is looming,
and neither of us has the time.

Thanks for any help.
