These are from Jacob Poon's report of 2007-10,
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/?106274

Each has a note I made as I checked it, most indicating a fix had already been made.

Overall, I had already identified the Cyrillic range as being a major problem, with inconsistent glyph style, and many glyphs just wrong.

Wrong glyphs had been deleted in the last release.

Since then many other characters newly drawn and added in CVS.
The range was completed in the roman style.

Very recently, the most common letters have all been replaced with those from the Tempora LCG Unicode font.

Less-used characters in the italic style remain a problem, because Cyrillic is traditionally very different in italic, and I don't have a good reference for it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Cyrillic letters semisoft sign (U+48C-48D) in all font variants incorrectly include serifs at the top. There should be no serif at the top of the glyph.
