Bug ID: 1574410 Summary: Incorrect lowercase Cyrillic BE for Macedonian language in liberation v2 (look like Greek delta) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Component: liberation-fonts Assignee: petersen@redhat.com Reporter: dmjpp@hotmail.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: alexl@redhat.com, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, john.j5live@gmail.com, mbarnes@fastmail.com, mclasen@redhat.com, petersen@redhat.com, psatpute@redhat.com, rhughes@redhat.com, rstrode@redhat.com, sandmann@redhat.com
Description of problem: The lowercase BE (U+0431, б ) looks incorrect. It looks like Greek lowercase delta δ. This is related to this change https://pagure.io/liberation-fonts/c/607af724740a2daf868b4d2b731d58bf1f5b46a... and bug 657849
While those changes may matter for Serbian, the Macedonian BE in regular fonts actually looks same as the Russian. ONLY in italic fonts the delta look is applicable, because italic fonts kinda look like handwriting.
Note that if you open the page for Cyrillic alphabet or the Cyrillic BE on wikipedia, it states incorrect and uncited info about this, Macedonian and Serbian shape of BE is different.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.00.1
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install harfbuzz and liberation2 2. Run the following commands
cd location/of/fonts hb-view --language=mk LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationSans-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationMono-Regular.ttf б
hb-view --language=mk LiberationSerif-Bold.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationSans-Bold.ttf б hb-view --language=mk LiberationMono-Bold.ttf б
Alternative way to trigger is to: 1. Open libeoffice (Liberation Serif is selected by default) 2. Write: б 3. Select that and change the paragraph language to Macedonian.
Actual results: I see the delta
Expected results: Should have the standard "six" shape, not "delta" shape
cd location/of/fonts hb-view --language=en LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=en LiberationSans-Regular.ttf б hb-view --language=en LiberationMono-Regular.ttf б
