Dear colleagues,
Thanks a lot,  I didn't know about this shape of the yat being more common before the revolution. While it seems to me that it is not all too fitting for Old Church Slavonic, for the moment, this will suffice.

Is there any (unicode) font available for typesetting OCS? E.g., could the Hiptex fonts be used?

Again, thanks a lot for your kind advice,

Ruprecht

That's a correct shape for a Cyrillic ascender, which BTW
was much more common in pre-1917 printing than Latin-styled
ascenders with a serif at the left side. The lowercase Cyrillic
"f" also often has its ascender and descender designed in this
style.
