Title:
  Hinting: Cyrillic small letter ZE (з) ensure top bowl remains smaller
  than lower bowl at all sizes

Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  When hinting characters with horizontal arms (з, E, 3), if it not
  possible to create balanced spaces both above and below, then the
  hinting should be engineered such that the smaller space is above and
  the larger space below.  This prevents the character looking "top
  heavy".

  At sizes 16px and 17px with font revision XYZ the spacing encompassed
  by the upper bowl of Cyrillic small letter Ze ("з",  UTF-16: 0x0437)
  was larger than the lower bowl.  This needs confirming that at all
  hinted sizes and resolutions the lower bowls is always the smaller
  one.
