Hi Alessandro,

I agree, the bar ought to be the same as that on the f except only to the left. I'll fix it right away.

I like to call horizontal lines "bar" and diagonal ones "stroke" or "slash".

Is it marginal? Man, it's a picky business--we all know that! Please keep pestering us!

OK, this is very marginal, only for those (like me) who typeset antiquarian stuff.

The upright LONG S should be just like f but for the stroke on the right, I don't know how to call it. In FreeSans and FreeMono that's the case but in upright FreeSerif, the stroke ON THE LEFT in LONG S is not the same as in F. On the other hand, in italic shape, the glyph turns out to be OK.

Please let me know if you've understood what I'm talking about.

Greetings.
