It seems Bosnian was already listed in some of the tables but maybe not consistently.

See attached test files.

Hello Anonymous,

There is more than one approach to this.

For Serbian and Macedonian, I have made the letter substitutions to trigger on the language of the text (if the text is marked as Macedonian, the alternate letters are substituted.)

This is a bit messy, as it requires global changes to all lists of languages in many font features.  (Really it's a weakness of FontForge, but I have to live with that.)

And since now I'm getting more requets for this particular style of letters... another technical option is to create a style feature, which authors could turn on explicitly.  It's better for me anyway, because then I don't have to mess with those tables...
I don't know what's better for the user... either way they have to do something special.

Hi, Steve,

In the Republika Srpska of Bosnian and Herzegovina, Cyrillic is in officially used, and this script is used not only for Serbian but also for Bosnian, and its behavior look the same as in Serbia.

Hi, Anonymous,

Can you provide further evidence of this convention?
Yes it is technically possible.

Hi,

I've heard that Bosnians also used Serbian localized glyphs when they using Cyrillic for their language. Could you please applying Serbian glyphs for Bosnian?
