To evade spelling debate mostly, the tilde is in the middle regarding
top/middle/bottom position, and not left/centre/right orientation :-)

Just an idea to exchange the centre and middle for less ambiguity and
quick address of screen placement position as top/mid/bot-L/C/R, maybe
counter intuitive at first, but here middle seems better suited to me.

As a person of the Cyrillic script and more than 33 yrs PC usage, here
is a list of what's historically correct and widely accepted the norm:

ao1 - the default as is, ao2 is UNREADABLE
dv2 - more readable and similar to cursive handwriting
ge2 - same, although ge1 is not wrong, ge2 is much much better
gq2 - preferred for text only (manuals) and gq1 is better for coding
ij1 - ij1 is much more readable! should be the default
ka2 - similar to latin k, this is much more readable should be default
ll2 - preferred hugely, this is important for legibility
td1 - proposed default here http://terminus-font.sourceforge.net/
br1 - looks much more pronounced

So, how about mid_tilde flavour being the name and the default as well?

It looks the tilde is in the middle vertically on the glass console too.
