Year 1998, How Adobe implemnted Serbian Cyrillic Glyphs

Hello.
About glyph names. I prefer Adobe way. In attached pdf file ( from 1998 ), page
9 and 18 are nice to understand, naming convention and location.
DejaVu implementation is "the same", put alternate glyphs in PUA area, the same
position as Adobe did, Unicode position F6C4, F6C5, F6C6, F6C7, F6C8. Than map
Glyphs, locl feature. Example: uni0442 --> uniF6C8.

All Adobe programs will work with this 100%. If XeTeX Work with Adobe  Minion
or Myriad OTF Pro fonts, with DejaVu, I think that we can try this
implementation.

For example , if You use program FontMatrix ( under Windows or Linux ), it is
easy to find position F6C8 in PUA and view ( or edit in some font editor ). It
is NOT easy to find glyphs S_BE.

Both fonts DejaVu and Liberation, implemented general Adobe Glyph List
settings( from FontForge properties about fonts).

Best Regards.
