The Bulgarian Minister of e-Government Bozhidar Bojanov has launched an initiative for Bulgarian institutions to use fonts that support Bulgarian Cyrillic. Source: https://www.facebook.com/bozhidar.bozhanov/posts/pfbid036YFX1SuEjFv4Mzg4WGfdnmCSG6yKT5f4wBokqjZigxCER6tkFdmrxzsD6xeedLBzl
The Roboto font is widely used in the Bulgarian web and I suggest you add support for the Bulgarian Cyrillic Script so that everyone can take advantage of it. You can read more about the loclBGR glyphs with examples and info on this article - https://www.lettersoup.de/what-shall-be-done-for-bulgarian-cyrillic-loclbgr/. More detailed information can be found here - https://www.fontfabric.com/blog/rounded-bulgarian-cyrillic-narrative-and-comparison/.
I will be more than grateful if you consider my proposal!
I would like to collaborate by adding .loclBGR and enchancing Roboto font family with the modern form of Bulgarian Cyrillic Script. According to Botio Nikoltchev (lettersoup) issue: http://www.lettersoup.de/what-shall-be-done-for-bulgarian-cyrillic-loclbgr/ the following characters list is all which have to be included for loclBGR:
The red characters in the pictures are in Russian style and the green ones in Bulgarian.
Д (uni0414) is optional Ѝ (uni040D) Л (uni041B) Ф (uni0424) is optional в (uni0432) г (uni0433) д (uni0434) ж (uni0436) з (uni0437) и (uni0438) usually there is no need to redesign in Italic й (uni0439) usually there is no need to redesign in Italic ѝ (uni045D) usually there is no need to redesign in Italic к (uni043A) л (uni043B) п (uni043F) usually there is no need to redesign in Italic т (uni0442) usually there is no need to redesign in Italic ц (uni0446) ш (uni0448) usually there is no need to redesign in Italic щ (uni0449) usually there is no need to redesign in Italic ю (uni044E)
