Title:
  [25 mod] Wrong characters appear in some Mac apps ([‘] → [⁸], [’] →
  [⁹], [–] → [ẃ], [—] → [Ẅ])

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in Ubuntu Font Family:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Problem occurs with:
      Chrome, Keynote, Pages, Byword, Ulysses; OS X 10.9.3–10.10.2
      Prince; OS X, Windows 8
  Does not occur with:
      Illustrator, Photoshop, Textmate, Firefox, Safari

  1. Set the font to Ubuntu (in Chrome, do this in Google Docs)
  2. Copy this text, including the quotes:
      “About 8–9 o’clock — but no earlier”
  3. Paste it into the app.

  What you see: ⁸About 8ẃ9 o⁹clock Ẅ but no earlier⁹

  From dupe bug 1400534:
  The Ubuntu-R.ttf file appears to have a broken Unicode cmap subtable, where character U+2019 (single quote) is mapped to glyph 373, which is the superscript 9 glyph. The Apple Roman cmap subtable is correct, and maps it to glyph 111. This leads to inconsistent behaviour in different applications, depending on whether they access the Unicode or Apple Roman cmap subtable.
