Inter: Issues with cyrillic letters "袣" and "褑"

Description

The cyrillic letters (uppercase only) and (lowercase only) look bad.
The has too wide upper leg in bold weights and unproportional center bar in light weights. The lowercase and in both cases look great.
's descender is separated from the glyph that causes space between them and misalignment in small sizes. The upper-case glyph looks also great.
I compared this glyphs with Roboto's glyphs in above picture:

Hi @rsms! Thanks for updating to 3.12. However, there is still some issues with cyrillic glyphs. I would fix them by yourself and make a pull request, but I don't have a Mac. So I've made a Figma file with my improvements.

So, I am not a graphic designer, but I am a native Cyrillic person, so I hope these tips will be helpful

First of all, the descenders on and should be identical because they are pretty much the same letter with a different amount of "poles".

Secondly, the descenders on both and are sticking out too far on the right, and you should move them left by 50% of their width.

Also, the descender on is moved down a bit and not slanted like , you should probably fix that.

Here's a Figma file with my fix ideas:

I really love Inter, but these letters are dealbreakers for me

Thank you @sk1nzz! The file 404s for me. Did you perhaps delete it or change permissions?
