Seeking Cyrillic font advice

[Stuart Rogers <srogers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I write my manuals in English in FM 7.0 (WinXP) and they are translated 
to Russian in-house and given back to me as MS Word docs. I've been able 
to import the text into FM and apply my template by first saving the 
.doc as .rtf and then opening the file from FM.

However, the fonts I've used for my English versions do not work for 
Cyrillic, and I've had to change my tags to use Times Roman CYR instead 
of Lucida Bright for headings, and Arial CYR instead of Verdana for the 
body. I don't much care for the look of either of these fonts, and 
wonder if anyone has advice on alternatives that would have the same 
visual impact as Lucida/Verdana. Or better, advice on typical fonts or 
font characteristics (i.e., serif, non-serif, weight, angle, etc.) for 
headings and body that Russian readers would expect.

Any help appreciated,
