Package: xfonts-terminus
Version: 4.20-5.1
Severity: important
The cyrillic letter 'в' (small letter!) has a misleading shape as it
looks almost like the capital 'В'. It should not have the same size as
many of the small latin letters like 'acemnorsuvwxz'.
The unicode character table references this letter as
"U+0432 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER VE"
UTF-8: 0xD0 0xB2
UTF-16: 0x0432
decimal XML-entity: в
checking other letters I find two other ambiguously formed ones:
'и' and 'й'
'и'
U+0438 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER I
UTF-8: 0xD0 0xB8
UTF-16: 0x0438
decimal XML-entity: и
'й'
U+0439 CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SHORT I
UTF-8: 0xD0 0xB9
UTF-16: 0x0439
decimal XML-entity: й
The two latter ones should look like their capital equivalents but smaller in
size, like latin 'acemnorsuvwxz'.
I consider this bug more important as the terminus font claims to be
easier readable than other fonts.
в и й
В И Й (capitals)
