Below you can read part of font development history. Simply put: Cyrillic support has been removed a few months ago (I didn't follow closely and didn't notice that right away). We might keep a zip with the old font files somewhere, but support for Cyrillic will be gone by default. Someone would need to take over the development of Cyrillic glyphs if they were to be supported. And someone needs to fix the wiki page. Please do not blame me - we cannot do anything but follow what the Polish have decided. If anyone disagrees, you are welcome to form a team to work on those glyphs. Ver 2.003: 16.09.2009 * this is the first official release of the TeX Gyre Termes fonts since June 22, 2009, when URW++, represented by Dr. Peter Rosenfeld, its Managing Director, kindly agreed to release the original 35 base PostScript fonts as shipped with Ghostscript ver. 4.00 under the LPPL (LaTeX Project Public License). This should be understood so that the 35 base Postscript fonts may be used and developed either under the LPPL or one of the GPL (GNU Public Licence) or AFPL (Aladdin Free Public Licence). The latter were put in force with the initial release of the base fonts with Ghostscript ver. 4.00 in 1996. Hereby we thank Dr. Rosenfeld. The TeX Gyre fonts are being develped from the Ghostscript ver. 4.00 base. For reasons explained elsewhere, we prefer to provide our work under the GUST Font Licence (GFL) which is legally equivallent to the LPPL. However, since 1996 the 35 PostScript base fonts were enhanced under the GNU Public License with Vietnamese glyphs by Han The Thanh and Cyrillic glyphs by Valek Filippov. Han The Thanh kindly permitted his additions to be retained under under GFL/LPPL in this and future TeX Gyre fonts releases. Unfortunately, we were unable to receive a similar permission from Valek Filippov for his Cyrillic glyphs, thus there are no Cyrillic glyphs in any of the TeX Gyre fonts. * with the removal of the Cyrillic glyphs all t2a-*.tfm, t2b-*.tfm t2c-*.tfm files and the relevant LaTeX *.fd files were also removed.
