You have been subscribed to a public bug: The current Ubuntu font family uses the Serbian/Macedonian glyph variant for the Cyrillic small letter b (б, U+0431) when text in Bulgarian is rendered. The affected fonts have a specific substitution table that replaces the default correct glyph with the wrong language specific one. This is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font- family/+bug/708578. As suggested in one of the last comments there, Bulgarian should use the exact same glyphs as Russian in all styles, including italic. No other font family uses the Serbian/Macedonian glyphs for Bulgarian, including pre-computer printed material.
