Issue with Bulgarian Cyrillic on fonts

Hello!

I am a community advocate for FOF, Sofia for Bulgaria and we experience difficulties when we want to use Bulgarian Cyrillic in several fonts with the “Stylistic sets” feature, but Bulgarian Cyrillic just doesn’t work. When I try the same in Adobe Illustrator for example - there are no problems. The only solution we’re able to find is to change the font’s core defaults to this type of Cyrillic, otherwise, it is impossible to use the stylistic set in Figma.

Best Regards,
Daniel Dungyov

    Thank you for continuing to share your feedback and highlighting how important proper support for Bulgarian Cyrillic letterforms is to your work.

    I’ve passed your feedback along to the team, and this request remains on their radar.

        Dear Figma Team(@Celine_Figma), please add "one small toggle - huge respect for the Cyrillic alphabet". It will show your respect for the world's linguistic wealth.

          As a beginner designer I still don't know the workarounds and am very confused from the lack of this feature!
