            Bug ID: 106488
           Summary: Incorrect localized lowercase Cyrillic BE for
                    Macedonian and Serbian language
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: General
          Assignee: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

The locl variant for Macedonian and Serbian languages of lowercase BE (U+0431,
б ) looks incorrect. It looks like Greek lowercase delta δ.

Similar bug is filled for Liberation fonts
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1574410

The reason for the bug is that the Wikipedia pages
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_(Cyrillic) and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script#Letterforms_and_typography
incorrectly state that BE has different form in Macedonian and Serbian. The
information is not even cited. I have NEVER EVER seen that delta look in ant
printed book, old or new. Both for Macedonian and Serbian.

Moreover I can cite official orthography documents where BE is written as
usual, same as in Russian.

Here is Macedonian orthography, scroll to page 13/368

Here is Serbian orthography, scroll to page 18
