Ah, yes I was wondering how to rename the original AFM.

Ok. In which case should cyrillic.mtx contain the latin def's and in 
which case the cyr ones?
What is the reason why I should include \unfakable{cedilla}?

Ok. But there are still some questions.
(1)
Is it correct that I still need the map entry reencoding to ot2?
(I presume this; otherwise pdftex will complain about reencoding some 
chars to .notdef)
(2)
There does not exist any ligature except
(LIG D 39 D 34) (COMMENT quoteright quotedblright)
(LIG D 45 D 124) (COMMENT hyphen cyrdash)
Thus I have to write an extra mtx file by hand so that the ot2 
ligatures 'dj', 'e0', 'e1', 'e2', 'zh', 'i0', 'i1', 'lj', 'nj', 'c1', 
'kh', 'ts', 'ch', 'd2', 'd3', 'sh', 'shch', 'p1', 'p2', 'yu', and 
finally 'ya' will be included, haven't I?
(3)
I'm wondering why emdash (cyrdash) is encoded but not endash (rangedash)?
AFM has both:
C 150 ; WX 500 ; N endash ; B 50 200 450 253 ;
C 151 ; WX 1000 ; N emdash ; B 50 200 950 253 ;
(4)
char dec38 (acute) is missing in the vpl and subsequently in the tfm, 
but it's in the font files.
(5)
the vpl says (SPECIAL Warning: missing glyph `cyryat') etc. but it's 
in the font (as afii10146 and afii10194) and it's even in the char 
table I've TeXed. The same is true for 'dotlessi' (dec61 but it's 
missing completely).
 From the log file:
(u:/uli/texmf/tex/latex/t2/cyrfinst/ot2.etx
Warning: missing glyph `CYRIZH'.
Warning: missing glyph `CYRFITA'.
Warning: missing glyph `cyrizh'.
Warning: missing glyph `cyrfita'.
Warning: missing glyph `CYRYAT'.
Warning: missing glyph `cyrbreve'.
Warning: missing glyph `cyryat'.
)
Why? All are there.
