that's an interesting question. when i first wrote, i did not
pay attention to this. from the logical point of view, italic gje
should look like italic g with acute, like any other accented cyrillic
letters. but in e.g. timesi.ttf from microsoft, gje looks like an
oblique g with acute.

i think that any form will be readable and understandable.
maybe someone could clarify which form is preferrable?

Best,
