I suspect the person that did the work used his employers' (very) non-free software to do the job, and said person is probably at risk of getting fired if found out. But who says we cannot use the result if it is GPL'd. Furthermore, the modification dates of the files inside the archive indicates that this happened 5 years ago, so it may be really hard to trace who did it. Also, in my enthusiasm I omitted the fact that these fonts are based on the ghostscript 6.0 fonts, before Cyrillic glyphs were added. E.g., Nimbus Roman Regular's PS Core is version 1.05, not 1.06. The Cyrillic glyphs need to be merged in. Probably the cleanest thing to do is redo the conversion starting with the current version of gs-fonts (8.11). We can use the "goose" version as model for what the result should look like (kerning, ligatures etc.) Any experts here that can help with that?
