  <title>URW-cyr fonts finally &quot;Serbianized&quot;</title>

  <description><![CDATA[
<p>URW fonts with additions of Cyrillic glyphs by Valek Filippov finally
have most of the Serbian glyphs integrated (except in Chancery, which
is still missing them). 

<p>Valek let me know about it while I was outside Belgrade (and without
access to a computer), so everyone, hurry up to grab URW fonts
1.0.7pre33 in a tarball here:
<blockquote>
  <a href="ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/release/urw-fonts-1.0.7pre33.tar.bz2">urw-fonts-1.0.7pre33.tar.bz2</a>
</blockquote>

<p>I've sent him some more comments regarding inconsistencies, but at
  least there won't be any problems with incorrect glyphs showing up
  (such as the memorable т instead of ћ).  Now, if only distributions
  could start using these right away, I'd be very happy.  gsfonts
  package also suffers from the same problems, so perhaps it will get
  fixed as well.

<p>Yet, the high quality of glyph splines is noticeable: Valek has
  done indeed an outstanding work on improving and fixing my glyphs
  (or should I call them now "my crap"? ;).

<p>I'm still not debunking my own CVS repository for Serbian
  modifications to URW-cyr, because I still prefer being able to
  create stand-alone Serbian fonts which have our Italic variants of
  п, д, б, т, г in their natural positions, not in Adobe's private
  use area.  Of course, if you want a nice Serbian Caligraphic fonts, 
  you should try Chancery with my additions in this CVS:
<pre>cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.kvota.net:/cvs/i18n co fonts/urwsr</pre>

<p><strong>Valek, thank you.</strong> (Even though it took almost 3
  years to get this integrated. :-P)
