Hi Chris, Here are some test case you can use for your printing. Tried with firefox-1.0-9.EL4.

Ping :)
any update?
Tested with firefox-1.0.2-3, still cant print indic unfortunately.
PM ACK for U2.
I've started coding these changes but I don't think it's going to make U2. It will need time to bake in Fedora before it can be pushed out as a feature update. It's a pretty big change.
I have tested printing of indic (Gujarati) with latest release of mozilla (Firefox-1.5). And fortunately it prints everything correctly except rendering because by default pango is not enabled in the builds of mozilla. So, i think this issue is solved. Here is the link for download:- http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-1.5&os=linux&lang=en-US So, Can somebody please test it?
I'm confused. Do you mean that the text rendering when printing in 1.5 is still broken because they don't enable pango? I never did the work to push pango down into the printing code so even if pango was enabled, printing would still look wrong.

-> over to behdad
-> caillon. We have all the patches in FC6/RHEL5, I believe caillon can better choose which bits to copy.
(In reply to comment #27) > This patch doesn't compile on RHEL-4, because of missing PangoRenderer class. > > We need to rewrite the patch (w/o PangoRenderer) or upgrade pango in RHEL-4... Ok then we've got to copy relevant parts of PangoRenderer too. It's not more than 100 or 200 lines.
Although this bugzilla was approved for RHEL 4.5, we were unable to resolve it in time to be included in the release. Therefore it is now proposed for RHEL 4.6.
Created attachment 158506 [details] an updated patch There's an updated patch. I had to copy whole pango-renderer.c & pango-renderer.h into firefox. Please let me know if you are going to update pango in RHEL-4 or if you know about any better solution.
Added to CVS, package firefox-1.5.0.12-0.4.el4
Will be included in the next ASYNC update.
yes, it is Fixed (rendering) for Indic in firefox-1.5.0.12-0.4.el4 Package
Fixed in RHSA-2007:0979-01
