Regarding comment #3:

I agree about descenders, but we don't want to cut them too much.  The font
should work on screen in low resolutions.  Cutting the descenders by 1/3 should
be fine.

Regarding small "d" and "l", I think "d" is fine in "Sans" and Sans Condensed",
but "l" is indeed too curved.  It could be shrunk horizontally a bit.

I don't see anything wrong with "r".  If you mean "ya", then indeed it's too
"puffy" and could be shrunk in the lower half.

Now, since this becomes a bug for all Cyrillic letters, here's what I'd like to
see fixed.

Capital "Tche" is higher than other letters in Sans Mono bold and Bold Oblique.

Shorter middle stem in "sha" and "shcha" (both small and capital) in Sans and
Sans Condensed creates a "dip" on top of the letter, which is distracting and
annoying.  I prefer the letter tops aligned.

Dots over capital "Yo" are not centered, which is mostly visible in Sans.

The top of the "hard sign" (both small and capital) is a bit too long in Sans
and Sans Condensed.

Not only the descenders on "tse" and "shcha" (both small and capital) are too
long, the lines leading to them are too long in Sans and Sans Condensed (i.e
they don't need to be so far to the right).
