I'm trying to figure out what fonts are compatible with T2A encoding – seems like there's no such a list known to Google.
I've identified that iwona and computer roman (default) are supported. However, attempts to use other fonts with either \usepackage{lmodern}
or \renewcommand*\rmdefault{phv}
in preamble result in a warning
Font shape "T2A/lmr/m/n" undefined(Font) using "T2A/cmr/m/n" instead.
\documentclass[10pt,a5paper,draft]{book}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[russian, english]{babel}
\usepackage{iwona}
\begin{document}
Some meaningful text.
Какой-то осмысленный текст.
\end{document}
Fonts I've tried so far are: times new roman, garamond, helvetica, palatino.
Maybe I'm missing something, so I'd be happy to be pushed in the right direction.

)Update (October 2014)
Other fonts have appeared since the last listing:
\usepackage{gentium}
\usepackage{Heuristica}
\usepackage{erewhon}
They have
.fd
files for T2A, T2B and T2C. The coverage for the last two is not complete, while Gentium seems to fully cover the three encodings.Update (June 2017)
There are new packages for Cyrillic:
\usepackage{tempora}
\usepackage{XCharter}
Update February 2018
With a current TeX Live, the command
locate '.fd' | grep '2017.*/[tT]2[aA]'
producesNotable additions are PTSans, PTSerif, Linux Libertine, XCharter, Cochineal, DejaVu (Serif and Sans), Lato and Nimbus (Serif, Sans and Mono).
