When typesetting Cyrillic and Latin using MonomakhUnicode font, latin glyphs look too wide, comparing to the surrounding Cyrillic text.

To equalize style I had to artificially shrink the font by factor 0.87 to make Latin text look
more consistent with the Cyrillic one.

I believe we should change the font to make Latin and Cyrilic widths visually compatible.

Example:

The font metrics should be the same as in the original Monomakh. Can you confirm that the text looks the same in Monomakh and in Monomakh Unicode?

Original Monomachus font has exactly the same problem - latin glyphs too wide.

So then this is a design issue rather than a bug. We would have to redesign the Latin characters.

I put wontfix because it's too much work, but if someone would like to work on it, great.
