Thanks for providing this example.
In my opinion it's a matter of taste and font design. Read describes
how the flags that he is "used to" look, but i'd say that we are free
to make our own design decisions, as long as they are consistent and
don't look too strange.
I prefer our Feta font.

thanks,
Janek
