Open shaltai opened 4 years ago

shaltai commented 4 years ago

Hello!

Thank you for you work first of all! Latin version is just amazing.

Cyrillic version is also mostly fine. But there is trouble with kerning for cyrrilic 'д' letter. It is too much wide. Could you fix it please? If you need help with cyrillic alphabet I could try to.

Thank you in advance!

I will look into this. I am not a native speaker so I have to rely on folks like you to help me out!

I will try to help you as much as I can. But here is no need to be native speaker. It's just about optical distances. Near the letter 'д' they are significant larger, so this letter falls out from string.

Feel free to message me via Telegram (@shaltai) or email Sorry for possible mistakes, I am not native English speaker unfortunately)

This is great and exactly the kind of collaborative work that makes these kinds of projects so good.

I'll make some revisions and then send them your way!

This д is not just too wide, it’s also incorrectly shaped: it should be similar to л. The triangular д may be appropriate for Bulgarian, but some other letter shapes are different in Bulgarian (б looks like 6, в looks like ϐ, г is like g etc), so this д stands out quite a lot.

л is also very wide, it should have been narrower. image

Something like this looks a lot more natural, although it’s not perfect (I just edited the raster rendering), д is still too wide here: image
