As a native Russian speaker, I just want to mention that the "Y" letter is unambiguously wrong in Russian. Timwi's version is (well, was) correct. --Romanski (talk) 20:59, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
 * As no kind of Russian speaker at all but just someone sensitive to the way that permissible patterns of glyph variation could slip under the radar as a property of a script that can vary, I wholeheartedly agree. This image's treatment of "Y" is an error.  (More at User talk:Timwi.) 4pq1injbok (talk) 18:27, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
 * If anything, as far as letter shapes are considered, we should identify Λ and Л instead; from the perspective of a Russian speaker, the former (at least in the way it appears on the image) is a completely permissible glyph shape for the latter (in the way the Y shape never was - I'm ignoring the lower-case letter; and as far as I can tell, Δ isn't either). As for K and К, it's really splitting hairs. I personally was surprised to find out that these letters apparently have different shapes when reading this discussion just now; I was pretty sure they're supposed to be identical until today (they certainly are on my keyboard now that I look at it). --85.141.137.223 (talk) 01:02, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

This is about basic letter shapes, not about how they look in a certain typeface. My view (as the creator of this file) is like that of the people who make licence plates: Vehicle registration plates of Greece: Only the letters from the intersection between the Latin and Greek alphabets by glyph appearance are used, namely Α, Β, Ε, Ζ, Η, Ι, Κ, Μ, Ν, Ο, Ρ, Τ, Υ, Χ. Vehicle registration plates of Russia: Only a small subset of Cyrillic characters that look like Latin characters are used (12 letters: А, В, Е, К, М, Н, О, Р, С, Т, У, Х). mate2code 22:27, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
