Both glyph names do work in XeLaTeX

Good news, Mr. Satpute, if you want you can go back to the previous glyph
names, I tried the new version of Sans and it still kept giving me that
friggin' point instead of the expected glyph. Then I had a flash of genius and
REMOVED the standard version of Liberation installed with Ubuntu... et voilà!
The problem didn't stem from a faulty glyph name bur RATHER from the conflict
between the beta and the mainstream version of Liberation.

In the pdf I attached both Liberation Serif (with glyph name S_BE) and
Liberation Sans (with glyph name identical to DejaVu) DO work now. But if, for
compatibility/consistency questions you want to conform to the DejaVu usage,
just go ahead. DejaVu might not be the cutest of all fonts but it's of course a
well-established reference which most free font designers conform to.

Now, three issues remain:
1) shape of Italic TE, which Zoran pointed out many times, the line above
should cover the whole letter, just as in DejaVu (take a look at the pdf)
2) shape of Regular/Italic BE is identical to Greek DELTA, which is bad, it
should be more like what it is in DejaVu (again, take a look at the pdf)
3) optional shape (tags hist & alt in Serbian locl GSUB) for Italic U+0448
CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER SHA, glyph shape like Italic TE, but line BENEATH,
instead of above. See attachment 529868 I inserted yesterday: The last letter
is SHA.

Regards
