Please confirm if there's any issue with en_US locale. there is no such issue if locale is en_US It is weird, cannot reproduce neither with LANG={zh_CN,cs_CZ,hi_IN} firefox. Probably I haven't installed proper non-European fonts, which packages should I install to reproduce this?
Package is fonts-hindi and Please try to login with Hindi Environment for Gnome Desktop (firefox interface will be Hindi hi_IN) I am unable to reproduce this bug in rawhide with firefox-3.0.1-1.fc10 build installed. I actually tried to update EL5 system to firefox-3.0.1-1.el5 but somehow got dependency problems so unable to test firefox-3.0.1-1.el5 build on EL5 system. And latest build firefox-3.0.2-2.el5 is giving above described problem. Ok. I got this bug successfully reproduced in rawhide when I start firefox in Indic locales bn, gu, hi, mr, pa, ta so bug started existing from I guess firefox-3.0-1 build As written in firefox-mozconfig firefox builds in EL5 are not using system cairo as_add_options --disable-system-cairo Attached screenshots to RHEL4 bug, although they were done with RHEL5. attachment 317212 [details] -- firefox illustrating non-reproducing attachment 317215 [details] -- screenshot in hindi-logged in kvm session Guys, help me to reproduce this, please? I just cannot reproduce this. I tried even logging with hi_IN in login, all gedit and other Gnome programs are in Hindi (I suppose), but http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ still looks good for me. I have installed fonts-hindi and yet I cannot reproduce it -- see the attached screenshot in the above comment. Matej, can you try <http://fedoraproject.org/static/firefox/>? I found it easy to reproduce on Fedora with that. Created attachment 317461 [details]
screenshot of reproduction
Yup, that's much better! Thanks

Patch is available from upstream.
For me above patch does not working on 3.0.2 source. Bug is still present for 3.0.x branch. But its fixed in upstream for 3.1 branch. Can we have above patch backported to 3.0.x release? Thanks Martin, I got upstream patch working now. Test rpms are available at http://paragn.fedorapeople.org/firefox-3.0.x/ Created attachment 323059 [details]

There's an updated patch for 3.0.4 - i tested it and works fine in firefox 3.0.4.
