I am forwarding this bug to the upstream.
Thanks. Excuse me for the late answer, I was away from keyboard for more than two weeks.
In my opinion the small letter I is not a problem - this is the usual italic shape for this letter and it can not be confused with any other Cyrillic letter. (Terminus seems to give a mix between normal and italic shape). As of the small letter 'w' I must admit, sometimes this was confusing to me too. :)
It's a decorative form as well, often used in italic/oblique.
From: Olaf Schulz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 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'. [...]
http://www.is-vn.bg/hamster/terminus-font-4.20-dv1.diff.gz alters ve, and also changes de to be like the capital DE but with lowercase height.
checking other letters I find two other ambiguously formed ones: 'и' and '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.
In general, there are two styles for several characters in the font: '1', which strictly follows the standards, and '2', which a number people find more useful. The default font is a mix between them; for a fully standards-compliant version, all patches ending with '1' must be applied.
It is my policy to let the packages maintainers (mr. Zinoviev in this case) decide which patches to use or ignore.
