Nevertheless, as I already mentioned, wiki.contextgarden.net/Russian
shows examples with TeX Gyre fonts and it is worth to update them (I'm
now working on that).

I doubt that quality appears with beginning of a font.

Don't forget about many another users which what to use Cyrillic
script but doesn't have MS or Adobe fonts (like me, I don't have any
product from MS so don't have they fonts or Adobe ones, Yes I took MS
fonts from machines with MS OS installed but this is illegal, Yes I
could download Adobe fonts from internet using P2P but this is illegal
too).

I prefer fonts what were used in my country (Russia) to print science
books in 70-80 yy of XX cent.
