They aren't empty ones - instead they filled with some bogus characters
that aren't koi8-r either. Either you didn't look at the change in question
or trying to trick readers of this list. In any case this is very
unprofessional conduct.

Did you read my previous post? There fonts *DON'T* conform to koi8-r and
my change doesn't make their non-conformance any bit worser.

Again, either make them truly koi8-r and then complain, or simply back out
your very unhelpful backout!
