i find myself in the position of having to critique some cyrillic
fonts, and need help finding models for reference.

i can cope well enough with upright cyrillic, any languages, and
with the russian "italic" letters.  however, i'm out of my depth
when it comes to the italic forms of non-russian letters, in
particular the following (citing them by unicode id's):

  0402/0452 -- dje
  0453 -- gje (g with acute accent)
  0454 -- ukrainian ie
  0409/0459 -- lje
  040A/045A -- nje
  040B/045B -- tshe
  040F/045F -- dzhe
  0462/0463 -- yat
  046A/046B -- big yus
  0472/0473 -- fita
  0474/0475 -- izhitsa
  0490/0491 -- ghe with upturn (ukrainian hard g)

any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
