Package: gpm
Version: 1.20.4-6
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream l10n

Steps to reproduce:
* Install gpm and console-cyrillic
* Configure console-cyrillic and choose terminus unicode bold as a font
* Restart console-cyrillic
* Type Russian letters "а" and "о" (which look exactly same as English "a" and 
"o")
* Copy them to clipboard using gpm
* Paste

What I get:
* I get English "a" and "o"

What I expected to get:
* Russian "а" and "о"

This bug is really bad. In the past, I didn't notice the bug and happily 
copied-and-pasted my Russian text from one text file to another.
This introduced a lot of words with mixed Russian and English letters such as 
"cлoвo". But one day I noticed that two files look exactly same,
but "diff" says they are different. And then I finally understand that there is 
such bug, and my files are full of such words with mixed letters.

This bug doesn't reproduce if I use unicyr font.
