Cool, thanks!  I just downloaded Thryomanes a few days ago :-)
If you want to have the complete set of Rokbeigalmki Cyrillic characters
in Thryomanes, besides the standard Russian ones there would also have to
be: (both upper and lower case)
(sorry, i'm not checking if these are already there)

the letters that look like a "T" and an "h" overlapping, one with a
straight "h" leg and the other with a curved one
the G-letter with a crossbar
X with a straight tail hanging from the right base
the letter that looks like "h"
that DZHE letter
ZHE with a tail like the X i mentioned above
H with the same tail thingy
"y" and backwards-N with breves
Y (straight-stalked, as opposed to the normal "y")
O, backwards-N, "y", A, and E with falling accent

And it would be nice to have all of the vowels with rising accents, too,
and the what's it called, palochka lengthening thing (if i remember its
description correctly) that would be so cool, but i don't know if all of
those things exist in Unicode in the first place.  there are the
combining diacritics, though, so i guess it'doesn't really matter about
those.
