Character Requirements for extended Cyrillic Orthographies

If a font supports all of the following characters, we believe that all modern orthographies using the Cyrillic script would be able to typeset texts in their orthography.

There are comments below about glyph variants that may be needed to support some languages.

The process for developing this list was based on the following (in order of process):

  • A review of custom-encoded fonts from Cyrillic-based languages
  • Decision to include all Codepage 1251 (Cyrillic) characters
  • Decision to include all Codepage 1252 and MacRoman characters
  • Decision to include many characters required for publishing (spaces and dashes)
  • Feedback on the resulting character set
