You can also add a list a free fonts with cyrillic chars, e.g. DejaVu,
Computer Modern Unicode, Linux Libertine etc.

Microsofts core fonts (Times New Roman, Arial) are available on the net [1]
and Adobe provides Minion and Myriad as packages for the Adobe Reader [2].
I don't how the legal situation with Microsofts fonts is but Adobes fonts
shouldn't be a problem when you have also the Adobe Reader.
