@Xavier  I keep having a problem with adding moldavian coins, there are alot of letters that i cant really write digitally in the lettering section.
Could there be added a romanian chyrillic script or a virtual keyboard? Ill do my best to write down the alphabet using the MBR catalogue and wikipedia:


 

Hello,

I could find all these letters in the Cyrillic virtual keyboard except 5 of them: Ѱ Ѫ Ѥ Ѵ Ꙟ.

Could you please confirm whether these 5 letters are present on some coins?

Hello,

Could you please confirm whether these 5 letters are present on some coins?

I saw that they do exist but many of them are written differently such as de “Д” or the “A”. 
Is that not enought of a big reason to add them? As for the others, i will see if i find them.
 

Thank you for the clarification. We could do that not with the virtual keyboard, but with a different font, like we do for Latin uncial script (see example N#185264).

 

Could you please share the links to some coins that would need it?

 

The Shafarik font might be a good candidate. See the picture below, with the current font at the top and the Shafarik font below.

That would be great! For now i only needed it for this coin: N#444571 but there are more comming.

The Shafarik font is not perfect, but it's a good approximation for the font on that coin:

Is the drawing from you or from the MBR book? Do you have pictures of real coins using this script?

I drew it using the images and text in the book as referances. And i have no pics exept for this one in the catalogue that is very poor quality:

Thank you. I would prefer seeing real pictures before deciding on the font.

How about this one? The script seems to be the same.

N#182887

Thanks for sharing this new example. I compared the scripts too:

 

It's not perfect (the Cyrillic letter Н is erroneously rendered like the Latin letter N in the font; the font doesn't have ligature for АР and А‍В; the О doesn't have a pointy bottom), but still better than the current font (especially for the shape of А, Д and Л).

 

The font Shafarik actually supports an alternative shape for Н, but selecting alternative letter shapes is not supported on Numista.

I just added the font on Numista. It will be visible on the coin page if you select “Cyrillic (medieval)” as the font.
 

See for example: N#444571

Looks nice, thank you!
