Created attachment 317212 [details] screenshot of non-reproducing this bug 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.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
Created attachment 321116 [details] Screenshot for Firefox issue it is RHEl4 with Firefox-3.0.2-3.el4 pango-1.6.0.9
The bug could be reproduced like this on my machine: RHEl4.7 x86_64 with Firefox-3.0.2-3.el4 pango-1.6.0.9 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to Punjabi Locale (pa_IN) 2. start firefox 3. open website http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ Actual results:(The same as the expect results) some characters in few lines are shown in non-english locale Additional info: 1) if copy-paste content in gedit, then it is in English. 2) other language (hi-IN,Be_IN,Gujaraties) also tested and have same problem exist
fonts-hindi is not availble on RHEL-4 [root@localhost ~]# up2date -l|grep hindi [root@localhost ~]# what should I use to have standard Hindi environment with fonts and everything< THanks
not sure if it support group install, if it does, groupinstall hindi-support if not, here's the package list. <packagelist> <packagereq type="default">iiimf-docs</packagereq> <packagereq requires="xorg-x11" type="optional">iiimf-gnome-im-switcher</packagereq> <packagereq requires="xorg-x11" type="optional">iiimf-gtk</packagereq> <packagereq type="default">iiimf-le-unit</packagereq> <packagereq type="default">iiimf-server</packagereq> <packagereq requires="xorg-x11" type="optional">iiimf-x</packagereq> <packagereq requires="kdelibs" type="optional">kde-i18n-Hindi</packagereq> <packagereq type="default">ttfonts-hi</packagereq> <packagelist>
Created attachment 321390 [details] screenshot of reproducing this bug OK, so apparently the key is to have installed '@Hindi Support' and then log in from gdm with Hindi language. Then hindi characters are all over the place.
Exactly. And if it helps, here's the Test Case for Hindi you could use so you can see how the rendering output should be once its fixed. <http://focus.bne.redhat.com/I18N/IndicTC/lang/hi_IN/font/IndicFontTestCaseCodepoint-Hindi.html>
Actually, the explanation why I couldn't reproduce it before using ssh -Y was that there is apparently a bug in firefox scripts -- you have to run export LANG=hi_IN.utf8 LC_ALL=hi_IN.utf8 firefox to get Hindi FF.
