Description of problem: Since Thai is in complex text language and need to work out in line-breaking area (in brief, need extra library/dictionary for line-breaking). This makes Mozilla.org to delay complete solution for line-breaking related issues in Mozilla product (Firefox, Thunderbird). Browser without line-breaking is nearly unusable for Thai people. Now there are some patches available using various approach. Ubuntu Dapper has included the patch that using libthai already. This patch should work with Fedora as well and enable this patch in next version of Fedora must benefit use in Thailand. Additional info: - Bugzilla issue is #7969 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7969 - Libthai patch is attachment #218666 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=218666&action=view - This issue is also discussed on fedora-i18n mailing list https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-i18n-list/2006-April/msg00005.html
My team successfully applie patch 220509 to custom build Firefox for FC5. The RPM is available for test at http://ftp.opentle.org/people/mrchoke/fedora/fc5/RPMS.main/. Libthai package is need as dependency (no need for libthai-dev). Now how could we do next for include this patch to FC Firefox? Libthai package is rarely changed and easy to maintain. - most recent libthai patch https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=221289&action=view
Darshan, can you give it some test and review the patch and let Chris know on the result? Isriya, any words from when will mozilla upstream be accepting this patch?
Mozilla upstream tends to accept "cross-platform-solution" patch (which isn't available now). I tried to get this patch review first but it may be too late for Firefox 2.0.
how to reproduce this bug? Any steps please.
We just updated the Firefox version in Fedora/development from 2.0 to a 3.0 pre-release version, which improves performance, memory usage, and fixes many bugs and crashes. Closing as CANTFIX since we aren't fixing bugs filed against 2.0 now that 3.0 is in. If this bug is still present in rawhide using a Firefox 3.0 version, please re-open this bug. Thanks and Happy Holidays
