Yes, sure.

I'd say it definitely *should* ;) The fonts have been provided by the
same upstream as exact that, a drop-in replacement for the fonts shipped
with ghostscript. I don't know, however, in how far texlive followed the
urwcyr fork. If it did, the cyrillic glyphs will be missing.
How can we check that?

That was the idea, after all.
I am still considering, by the way, to do what ghostscript did with the
fonts and reset the font name and font family fields in the binary files
to match those of the gsfonts release...
