Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 214614
zero-width chars are printed as boxes with firefox
Last modified: 2008-01-15 09:38:51 EST
Description of problem: When printing pages containing zero-width characters like U+200C ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER used in orthographies of several languages written in the Arabic and Indic scripts, the characters are displayed as boxes. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5.0.7-8.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open http://fa.farsiweb.ir/ 2. Choose File->Print from the menu. 3. Click on the "Print" button. Actual results: The printed page contains boxes over some letters, where ZWNJs are located. Expected results: The printed page should not contain the boxes. Additional info: bug 214493 is about the same phenomenon when printing using gedit, but is probably completely unrelated.
The problem also exists with firefox-2.0-2.fc7 on rawhide.
Right. My fault. Will be fixed soonish.
Fedora Core 6 is no longer supported, could you please reproduce this with the updated version of the currently supported distribution (Fedora 7, 8, or Rawhide)? If this issue turns out to still be reproducible, please let us know in this bug report. If after a month's time we have not heard back from you, we will have to close this bug as CANTFIX. Setting status to NEEDINFO, and awaiting information from the reporter. [This is mass-filed message to all open Fedora Core 6 bugs related to Xorg or Gecko. If you see any other reason, why this bug shouldn't be closed, please, comment on it here.]
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. {This is mass-closing of all obsolete bugs; if this bug was in your opinion closed by mistake, please, reopen it with additional information; thanks a lot and I am sorry for bothering you in such case.}
