[djrrb]

The thin incorporates some new Greek forms. Which should be used?

afii10106 and similar

[djrrb]

pi (pe-cyrillic is consistent)

With regards to the letter chi, the official ubuntu font issue tracker has an issue on this. I think we should abide by the decision made there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-family/+bug/647092

(As a side note, it is worth checking that issue tracker for all differences, to make sure we don't accidentally loose some of the fixes requested by the community.

Thanks for suggesting we look a the issue tracker!

I worked from the v0.83 sources, but am now seeing a v0.84 pre-release was created that already incorporates some if not all of these changes (screenshot).

It does not appear in the phased beta branch. I’m not familiar with Launchpad so I’m sorry if this is a silly question, but @lyubomir-popov is it possible to get my hands on the source files associated with this pre-release so I can incorporate or replicate these changes?

Confirming that we will follow the Thin forms in the above characters as we draw the Condensed, and will also update the normal-width Light and Bold accordingly so all are consistent.

These are updated...thanks Zrinka and Gen!
