Lockal (or anyone else), I don't read or write a Cyrillic language, so I'm not a good judge of whether this bug is fixed. I've attached the text from <http://www.bbc.co.uk/russian/science/2014/11/141112_philae_landed> and reformatted it in Ubuntu 10 bold, with the two problem characters highlighted. How does it look?

10pt seems to be just on the boundary where some hinted letter spaces are 1 pixel, while others are 2 pixels.

Thank you for getting in touch with me! The distance between "люч" is reasonable, but all other pairs are unbalanced. Actually in your file there are much more unbalanced pairs. I've marked them, I hope you'll find it useful.
