        <pre>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
<a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1574410">https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1574410</a>

The reason for the bug is that the Wikipedia pages
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_(Cyrillic">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be_(Cyrillic</a>) and
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script#Letterforms_and_typography">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrillic_script#Letterforms_and_typography</a>
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
