Add Cyrillic support #6
Comments
I'm open to it. There are many improvements I need to make to the Latin set first (first and foremost, italics), so it won't be soon. But I'll leave this open for now, and others interested can upvote/comment. |
I'm interested in helping out with this. I've made a start at https://github.com/drawcard/figtree/tree/cyrillic |
I've completed the uppercase and lowercase character set for Cyrillic (Basic set), you can check out my branch to take a closer look. I'm not a native Cyrillic writer, so it should be looked over by someone who is more familiar with Cyrillic. However I did study quite a few Cyrillic fonts while working on it, so hopefully it hits the mark. Things to do before PR:
Future ideas:

Looks like a fantastic start! Let me try and get some native readers to look it over. Thanks @drawcard ! 🙂 |
@drawcard I'd like to include Ukrainian with the initial PR. Ґ ґ Є є І і Ї ї ₴ What else do we need for that? |
Thanks Erik! For Ukrainian, I can complete the character set in Glyphs and update the branch. Shouldn't be too much effort to do. I also posted in TypeDrawers to get some feedback, the comments have been helpful and I'll be working in those suggestions. Will submit my PR soon! |
@drawcard, I add some line up to your mockup. It better shows that some letters don't have the same alignment (to bottom or top) and should be a bit smaller. Seems they are Э, Ю and small «е», «ё», «э», «ю». But I'm not sure of my viewpoint. Just glanced some details that could be matter. Your mockup is fine. My orange line is 2 px. |
Thanks for this @Twilightssuperb - I'm not entirely sure if I understand the issue, as the rounded letter shapes have overshoots on them, for optical correction, so their extremes wouldn't line up with the other x-heights: Does that make sense, or does the issue lie somewhere else? |
Yep, I suggested it. It's not a bug or mistake, it's a typographic feature. Your drafts looks fine, don't bother. 🙂 I'm not a pro or designer to be nerdy or too strict, I'm just a kind of geek. |
Oh, I see now - thanks for pointing this out anyway! |
Serbian always gets left out 😭 ЉЊШЂЖЧЋ 🤟🏻 Here's my feedback for the current state:

@drawcard I can't install Cyrillic font on Mac. Please help me. |
Is it possible to create and implement cyrillic languages support?
