Thanks to all who have responded. In git, the auto-hinter now handles
Cyrillic and Greek separately from Latin glyphs. Please test!

This should now work. I've simply omitted a top blue zone for small
letters with ascenders.

This will be (almost) automatically supported as soon as the linking
issue with HarfBuzz gets resolved. I've already written the code for
OpenType feature support, which is now waiting for testing :-)
