Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Pavel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3

I have used Mozilla family of brousers in Linux for several years.
And I noticed that after you've turned to building it with XFT
mozillas seased to show Japanese syllable alphabet (in some sites).

However if I start the brouser prepending 
export GDK_USE_XFT="0"
it renders the page in question as it should, i.e without loosing the text
information.


PS. I run Firefoxen both under ru_RU.KOI8-R and under ja_JP.eucJP
The problrem exists elsewhere.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start the brouser w/o turning XFT off 
2. as an example open URL
http://polusharie.com/?id=Guest-1083789104;board=japan_daily_life;action=display;num=1078297102;start=0;#13
3. look for string Сообщение #3  03/03/04 в 10:18:58
4. highlight the last line 家電修理　（かでんしゅうり）　ремонт бытовой электроники 
5. watch Hiragana symbols appear as you extend the selection to the right, then
disapper soon as they are selected
6. Do something about it, please.

PS. As I started Firefox 09.3 with XFT I cannot see Hiragana in this form I'm
filling in.
Actual Results:  
See Steps to Reproduce section

Expected Results:  
Hiragana should be visible
