Re: [DejaVu-fonts] patch old italic alphabet

[nocturnaldreamer <noc...@gm...>]

Hi MaEr,

sry for the late reply. The current patch is definitely a great 
improvement over the previous one. Some minor issues remain though:

𐌀 was previously to narrow, but now it seems a bit too wide, especially 
the regular version. I'd recommend narrowing it down a little bit in 
Bold and a bit more in Regular. As before, the same goes for 𐌡 and 𐌞.

Cap height is a bit inconsistent. It is correct to have overshoot 
produced by diagonal strokes and round elements, but vertical strokes 
with horizontal terminals should end at the same height (compare 𐌉 to 
left stroke of 𐌊 for instance).

𐌑 should not have sharp corners, instead they should look like the 
upper left corner of 𐌌 and 𐌍.

If you want, I can apply your current patch and make those changes 
myself. Otherwise I look forward to your next patch.

Gruß,
Gee Fung Sit
