That doesn't make a difference: I'm myself not very professional
either, and perhaps we'll get better over time :)

What it takes is some spare time, and some more dedication.  If
you've got those, you'll do fine. :)

I think it's best to start with a project for getting *all* the Vera
fonts updated.  We're not in a hurry, so we can take our time.
Noting that not all fonts have the same coverage is pretty much a
requirement, I'd say.

I'm definitely interested in providing all fonts with Cyrillic
glyphs, though I don't have any immediate plans for that.

So, any thoughts on actually starting on this?
