Add Bulgarian Cyrillic glyphs #16

Open XenBG opened 2 years ago

XenBG commented 2 years ago

Hello! As I already said in this issue, the Bulgarian Minister of e-Government has launched an initiative for Bulgarian institutions to use fonts that support Bulgarian Cyrillic.

In this regard, I wondered who I can contact to update some of the available fonts in Windows OS to support the Bulgarian stylistic variation of the Cyrillic script?

Fonts (most used in Bulgaria) that need to be updated to support the loclBGR glyphs:

The oval Cyrillic alphabet has already been codified as an official book standard for printed letters in Bulgaria

The oval form of the Cyrillic alphabet is recognized as official in Bulgaria and is legalized by the Bulgarian Language Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Bulgaria through the online edition of the "Official Spelling Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language". The Bulgarian Language Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences is the only institution in Bulgaria that is authorized to be officially responsible for the codification norms of the modern Bulgarian literary language. In the "Bulgarian alphabet" section, for the first time, the printed capital and small letters are represented by an oval form of the Cyrillic alphabet, and this already turns the oval Cyrillic into an official form of the printed alphabet in Bulgaria. It is curious that the website of the publication "Official Spelling Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language" uses the font of the Russian company "Paratype" - PT Serif BGR.
