@Далибор: the handwriting example you give on http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/19/Serbian_Cyrillic_cursive2.png is the correct form, and no, it should not be "curved". The "reverse s" form (with the bar) derives from Russian "g", and is not traditionally Serbian.

Also, the thread you mention on vokabular is not very definite. The person with the above hand-writing claims how his handwriting is incorrect and that the Russian form should be used instead (with the bar on top). Nobody else claims any authority in that thread, so it should not be trusted. I believe current form of the lowercase "g" should be kept for Serbian Italic variants.

His hand-writing is the *correct* form. In sans-serif italic fonts, it is customary to drop the "connecting" line on the left (the "/" part), and thus we end up with the form as in Ubuntu fonts today. Please do not ask for this to be broken so it agrees with someone's confused statements.
