Bug Description
The Ubuntu Font Family has number of Cyrillic letter forms; upright and italic glyph differ considerably for some codepoints. In additional, the Ubuntu Font Family tries to support localised Cyrillic alphabets.
In Bulgarian, some of the forms look unfamiliar.
Original report:
I am not sure when this bug appears - sometimes the letter is correct, and sometimes - not.
I think it appears when using italic style, but not always...
The attached screenshot is taken from my forum, using the Ubuntu font.

It appears that your software is requesting the Serbian/Macedonian
italic variants rather than standard Cyrillic italics. Fonts can alter
their behaviour through language and script specific OpenType features,
and that is what's happening here. Whether this is correct or not will
depend on the locale settings, and what the software believes the
correct language is.
