U+0192 should be straight, not slanted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

U+0192 LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK is the lowercase of U+0191 LATIN CAPITAL 
LETTER F WITH HOOK. Even if it is also used as the historical florin currency 
symbol, it is better if it is not slanted.
The Ewe language uses that character, it is preffered in upright form.
See http://books.google.fr/books?id=a9v9gKCpFQwC&pg=PR6&#v=onepage&q&f=false 
for example.

The current Unicode 6.0 http://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0180.pdf example glyph 
for the character is slanted, however previous versions weren't always (see 
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/Unicode-5.0/U50-0180.pdf ). Besides the 
glyphs in Unicode are font dependend are not meant to be prescriptive.

The name LATIN SMALL LETTER F WITH HOOK gives no indication that the glyph 
should be slanted.

In Italics the U+0066 LATIN SMALL LETTER F has the same glyph. It might be 
better, to avoid confusion, to change the glyph of U+0066, if not by default as 
'locl' feature for Ewe (OpenType Language Tag: EWE).

Indeed this is an issue of old fonts or even of Unicode mixing letter and 
currency sign. It is reasonable to move florin somewhere else with locl(NLD) 
substitution.

P.S. By now Ewe alphabet is not supported by the fonts.

This has been fixed using the 'locl' feature.
