Installing Cyrillic PostScript Fonts

I've just purchased Monotype Plantin Cyrillic and am trying to persuade
fontinst to generate TeX files for it (I've got lots of purchased Latin
fonts installed using fontinst already). I've installed the t2 package but
can't find any examples of fontinst scripts for installing any Cyrillic
fonts.

Any pointers to examples much appreciated (I don't particularly care about
input encodings - the whole thing is in Plain TeX and I don't mind having to
encode this small bit of Russian using entire \char if necessary). I'd just
like (any) font with a table containing the Cyrillic characters from the
postscript font so that I can use them.

My initial attempt (which doesn't work because fontinst complains that it
can't find 6r.etx) is:

\input fontinst.sty
%\input fnstcorr
%\input cyralias - these files don't seem to work
\needsfontinstversion{1.928}
\recordtransforms{rec.tex}
\transformfont{mptrz6r}{\reencodefont{6r}}{\fromafm{mptrz8a}}
\installfonts
\installrawfont{mptrz6r}{mptrz6r,6r}{6r}{6r}{mpt}{m}{n}{}
\endinstallfonts
\endrecordtransforms
\bye

Thanks in advance,


David
