I updated the mini-project:
https://github.com/arielm/Unicode/tree/master/Projects/LanguageFeatures

Documentation, screen-shot, links and code are now up-to-date ;)

I'm working by iterations (each time concentrating on a single topic), so I
guess it will be possible to add links to my mini-projects in the Wiki,
once they're maturating...

Regarding "Russian vs Cyrillic": any idea why the OSX version of Verdana is
working only partially?
Is someone aware of another font supporting the required behaviour?

Thanks,
Ariel
