italicization for sc=Cyrl

I assume that this has something to do with recent edits, but {term} has suddenly starting italicizing with sc=Cyrl. Compare:

Other scripts seem to be unaffected.. --Ivan Štambuk 10:58, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

{{Cyrl}} was not changed, it has specified italics for face=term for a while. But this template was changed to invoke scripts with the parameter (finally). What is wanted? (I recall some prior discussion about italicizing Cyrllic in various cases, but not what people preferred.) Robert Ullmann 12:11, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
What is wanted is that it doesn't italicize, and that was the previous behaviour. Combining diacritics on italicized Cyrillic letters are very hard to read, as you can see on the example above. --Ivan Štambuk 12:20, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Okay. Will fix it in Cyrl. For myself, I first ran into italicized Cyrillic here on the wikt, and couldn't figure out why it was so unreadable, until someone pointed out that some of the letterforms are actually different (:-) no wonder. Robert Ullmann 12:25, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Yup, в = в, г = г, д = д, и/й = и/й, and т = т — which we didn't want to force readers to cope with. (Don't blame Cyrillic, though; traditionally, Roman fonts for English had the hanging-over-part in <a> and the double-loops in <g>, while their italic counterparts did not. But it looks like nowadays, most computer fonts use the same variant for both Roman and italic.) Thanks for making the change. :-)   —RuakhTALK 12:37, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
