Dear Typographers, I am in need to kern a cyrillic typeface and looking for well made kern strings to use in FontLab. Could anyone help me with this? Much appreciated.
Hi there, not long ago I've made a list of all (I hope) possible letter combinations in Bulgarian language. I hope you find this useful - http://bit.ly/VunkWA
I have combined all sources from this and other topics (I have added also some of my sources) so there is a comprehensive new page on Cyrillic kerning pairs here.
I've got to agree with James. Looking at Russian word lists gets you so far, until the day comes when you have to typeset Къ̀форд Ландѝдно or something.

BTW, Here is a nice PDF on Cyrillics:

I added some Cyrillic kern strings to the learncyrillic blog:
