Sebastien, though the Russians the same symbol in mathematics for the infinity, the infinity symbol ∞ itself is not Cyrillic. Have you tested their solution, whatever it may be, simply to make sure that that's the same issue?

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!
