Lets say in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?classification=Fedora http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox same thing is happening with many website in some website if we zoom view of firefox it gives proper result and again after zooming out it gives same result Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.0.1-1.fc9.i386 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Tried LANG=mr_IN firefox and cannot reproduce here. What do I do wrong?
It is still coming problem looks with rendering side, since if i increase the size of text(zoom), everything looks nice can you try by reducing size of view? is there any dependency firefox has which i have not told you yet??
I confirm this bug exists with following image http://paragn.fedorapeople.org/FF3renderingborken.png
Reproduced for Hindi in rawhide on the fedora page: http://fedoraproject.org/static/firefox/.
Seems to happen for: bn, gu, hi, mr, ne, pa, ta, but not for: kn, ml, or, si, te, mai (or th)
yes bug exists for bn, gu, hi, mr, pa, ta Indic locales in rawhide also exists for bn_BD locale. I can see English text for http://fedoraproject.org/static/firefox/ only after I keep zooming in. Otherwise default text appeared in mix like for locale in which firefox started and English alphabets.
