I think the shape can be changed via coping glyph reference from R and reverse it.

Hi Steve,

My comparation is here. I found I have made a mistake here, in this case the Russian Ya in FreeSans should be redesigned rather than implementing a variant.

I got Nimbus Sans L from a SVN repo of the Ghostscript project, FreeSans including some glyphs based on this font, I can see Russian Ya looks similar to reversed R.

Hi Steve,

I mean the design of Russian Ya in FreeSans should based on reversed R, which is closer to Helvetica design. Additionaly, I also found U+0281, U+1D19 has non-Helvetica shapes in FreeSans.

Regards.

Hi,

Again, I have no idea what design you are referrring to.  Please provide an image.

Most of the ranges of glyphs in freefont are not my personal design.  I would be very hesitant to alter the original designer's shape on the grounds that another person prefers some other shape.

Font variants are provided in cases where Unicode fails to distinguish typographic traditions used in different languages. There are several examples of this in the font.

Cheers!

I’m sorry, the alternate design is “reversed” R, not “inversed”.

Hello Steve,

Have you ever thought about changing the appearance/implementing a variant for Russian Ya in FreeSans? What you have now looks very dull, and it looks very closer to Arial design. There is another design can be used for Russian Ya, based on inversed R.

Regards.
