re comment 5:
Yes, I meant "ya" not "r". Very sorry -- hash table collision in brain. The
DejaVu Sans "ya" looks too much like a latin "R"...

Regarding the descenders of "d" at low resolutions: I was mosrtly thinking of
font size 10-13. At those sizes, the descenders could eaily be shrunk by 50%. I
think the reason the "d" doesn't look like it needs shrinking is because the
annoyance of long descenders is overshadowing the annoyance of excessive width.

I don't care either way about the middle stem in "sh" and "sch". I'm fine with
it long, and I'm fine with it short.

I fully agree with your comments about "ch", "yo", and the tails of the "hard
sign", "ts", and "sch". It seems DejaVu designers went a bit overboard with the
size of all the tails and descenders.
