Nuskhuri does appear to be a specifically cursive/italic alphabet, and does seem like our upright version of it is an unauthentic innovation. While I would like to get this fixed, commissioning (35 glyphs * 8 masters * 2 fonts =) 560 replacement glyphs for liturgical use seems like quite a difficult cost/value proposition... This is entering into "maybe one day" territory.
