Спасибо за бдительность. Действительно, в Dejavu были добавлены
некоторые символы из шрифта Veraja, и некоторые кириллические глифы были
слегка улучшены в связи с этим. Собственно, кириллическая страница
регулярно улучшается, благодаря живому участию Данило Шегана в проекте
Dejavu. Новая версия шрифтов будет отправлена в Сизиф, как обычно,
вскоре после выпуска, то есть завтра. Но вряд ли изменения в глифах
будут сильно заметны :)
А вот на то, что Dejavu недавно стала семьёй шрифтов по умолчанию в
Ubuntu, я бы обратил пристальное внимание товарищей, создающих
коробочные версии ALT Linux.
