We are considering moving to Noto fonts and could use feedback
from people who can read languages which have non-latin scripts,
particularly Asian languages. I've made previews in about a dozen
different languages at

adjust font sizes, but that's a different issue.

Hi Paul,<br>
<br>
I noticed a slight bug for the Ukrainian alphabet. A hyphen "-" can
be an integral part of a town name, as opposite to indication of the
division of a word at the end of a line.<br>
<br>
Here are some examples:<br>
<br>
The name of the city of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamianets-Podilskyi">Kamianets-Podilskyi</a>
(on Google map is written correctly, on the OSM map wrongly, always
in two lines): <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.org/go/0hmtaWQg">http://osm.org/go/0hmtaWQg</a>-<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.google.com/maps/@48.6906937,26.5564268,13z?hl=en">https://www.google.com/maps/@48.6906937,26.5564268,13z?hl=en</a><br>
<br>
The town of <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi">Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi</a>
(again on Google map is written correctly, on the OSM map wrongly,
always in two lines): <br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/46.1517/30.3499">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/46.1517/30.3499</a><br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.google.com/maps/@46.1562394,30.4138062,11.81z?hl=en">https://www.google.com/maps/@46.1562394,30.4138062,11.81z?hl=en</a><br>
<br>
It should be at least as <a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanty-Mansiysk">Khanty-Mansiysk</a>
in Russian Federation, in one line at close zooms:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://osm.org/go/2xZYTDR">http://osm.org/go/2xZYTDR</a>-<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.google.com/maps/@61.0084264,69.0622292,12.98z?hl=en">https://www.google.com/maps/@61.0084264,69.0622292,12.98z?hl=en</a><br>
<br>
or even better always in one line. For example, we do not write on
the map the names of New York or San Francisco in two lines. <br>
<br>
The names of these towns in Ukrainian are <i>Кам'янець-Подільський
</i>and <i>Білгород-Дністровський. </i>They are written normally
in one line. These are well-known towns in local culture. The first
was founded in 12th century, the second in 6th century BC (it's one
of the most ancient cities of with a continuous existence). <br>
<br>
