The attached file, printed from LibreOffice in Oneiric prints with all 'к' replaced with 'а'. I also attach the PDF data which LibreOffice sends and this data is OK.

One can see that the problem is caused by Ghostscript converting the PDF data into PostScript, simply by running it through Ghostscript's PDF-to-PostScript converter script:

pdf2ps pdf2ps-character-problem.pdf

and displaying the resulting file:

gs pdf2ps-character-problem.ps

I am on Ubuntu Oneiric with Ghostscript 9.04 and the fixes for bug 692626 and bug 692687 are already applied.

See also bug 692716, it is perhaps the same problem.
