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
