I've now compared an un-flipped version to the flipped version: 1) un-flipped. "Hm... Looks quite nice." 2) flipped "Wha...! Uhm, oh, it has reversed r's and n's. Neat!" The flipped version gives me a double-take -- first I can't understand what it says, and then it clicks, and I can read it. So I like the flipped version better. > - (simple to fix) the N is upside-down rather than leftside-right, > which means that the serifs come out all wrong. Why don't you > flip it leftside-right? The N is flipped the same way as the R, so it's mirrored on the Y axis. Perhaps I should flip the N the other way? > - (difficult to fix) the serif on the R is *truly* ugly. Yup. But even the "real" cyrillic font has that ugly serif there for the ya letter. Does anybody have any pointers to some site on the net where some really real cyrillic things are on display? If it's from the '20s, it would be even better, but that's not really necessary... -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@ifi.uio.no * Lars Ingebrigtsen
