Please note, that the dagger - modified Ka display is because of the modified CP1251 encoding. In the original CP1251 encoding it is indeed a dagger symbol. However, the CP1251 version we are dealing with has replaced some glyphs with Uralic ones.

I have packaged a testing version of MonoUralic.

http://ppa.launchpad.net/arnegoetje/ubuntu/pool/main/t/ttf-uralic/

The package contains only the MonoUralic font in two flavors: one with the modified CP1251 encoding, the other with the correct ISO10646 encoding.

I'm afraid, because the CP1251 encoding was tempered with, we have no choice than to provide 2 font flavors, one for each encoding.

So, if this testing package works for you, I'll modify the remaining fonts accordingly.

Also, I have prepared the same fonts as TTC file (Truetype Collection), which should save some space on users' systems.

If the above package works for you, I will create a new one with the TTC file enabled instead. It will need to be tested with as many applications as possible, weather or not they can use both font flavors out of the TTC.

Are you willing to test that also?

Otherwise, if the TTC doesn't work as expected, we'll need to ship two separate fonts, like we have now.
