This is very puzzling, as it's not just Wikipedia which makes the claims
about Bulgarian - I've even seen reference photographs of Bulgarian
street signs which use them for uprights. I'm wondering if, as the
earlier comment about cursive script confirmed, the confusion is coming
from written versus printed forms? We then face the issue of how closely
italic should follow cursive.
Either way, we need to investigate further, and come to a firm conclusion.
