Emmanuel,

I made FreeSerifBoldItalic like the others now.
Thank you and your scripts!

I think the vertical bar (U+007C) has been overlooked in Serif. It is slanted in FreeMono and FreeSans (Bold) Oblique, but not in FreeSerif (Bold) Italic.

increased slant of solidus in serif bi. in sans, made it thicker, too.

dental click is at this time already slanted.

I think most of these issues have been either fixed or looked at hard without resolution. If there any of them need to be looked at again, please open separate new reports.

Thanks again!
