Hi Hsing-yen,

Pardon the long delay.

I have slightly increased the kerning between the two letters.  It wasn't quite to the limit my policies allow.  It may not be enough to satisfy you.

Frankly, I can hardly see the problem in the images you provide. And... in Firefox, kerning is turned off (for reasons I find suspicious) under some circumstances.  I would be happier to see an example from a file read by Firefox directly from the file system.

The serbian and eastern be are not the same shape, especially on the left side.  The kerning is therefore different.

Understand: the letters are partly recognized by the differences in geometrical area between properly kerned letters.  It is right for there to be greater area between u and be.  It is a mistake to minimize this.

Thanks for your report!

As I observe, Serbian Be should as close as Russian Be in the word република.

Hi Steve,

I got 20151012 build from Launchpad, then opened a page (Срьбїꙗ) from Church Slavonic Wikipedia for test, it seems to me that Serbian Be have no kerning after у in Firefox. Here is my test results:

Hi,

FreeSerif has kerning table entries for the Serbian be.

Please try this with the most recent build, and specify which operating system you are using, and which application.

Also, an image may help.

Hi Steve,

It seems to me that Serbian localized glyph for Cyrillic Be have an entry for kerning in a word “република”, which appearing in both Serbian and Macedonian.

Before marking a language code, it looks tight, but after marking this word as Serbian, this word looks loose. So please adjust the kerning.

Regards.
