--- Comment #2 from Georg Duffner <g.duffner at gmail.com> ---
There are actually to bugs present in LiberationSerif Italic.

The one concerns cyrillic ge (U+0433) and de (U+0434) which in serbian locl are
simply substituted with "imacron" (U+012B) and "g" (U+0067). Thus, when
copy/pasting from a pdf, these two codepoints will by copied instead of the
expected U+0433 and U+0434. To fix this you need to add two unencoded glyphs,
insert a reference to imacron and g respectively and name them uni0433.srb and
uni0434.srb (or some other suffix).

The second bug concerns the serbian be, pe and te. They are named S_BE, S_PE
and S_TE. Applications that rely on AGL-conformant glyph names to identify the
original codepoints read these names as ligatures of a letter S and a letter BE
(or PE or TE). As no BE, PE or TE named glyphs exist in the font, no mapping
can be found and copying will fail. To fix this, the glyphs should be renamed
to uni0431.srb, uni043F.srb and uni0442.srb (or any other suffix). This might
concern other glyphs too (dottediacute should be renamed too, something like
iacute.dotted should work).
