1052539 - Zawgyi Character issues

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Locale switching and selection, defect)

Description

[Robert (rrayborn, he/him)]

I have 3 reports from the past few weeks of the Zawgyi font breaking (compared to 4 in the past year).  There are no SUMO posts to validate the issue.  This is not version-specific.

Samsung Note 3: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/dashboard/response/4541899
Huawei Ascend G600: https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/dashboard/response/4538214

Thanks

Do these devices ship with a Burmese (I would imagine) font? What language are they selecting in our locale switcher?

> I can't see zawgyi one font on my s3 GT-I9300 with firefox browser in last update

I assume this is a Firefox update rather than an Android update. Recall anything that changed between 30 and 31?

Hey Aaron:

To clarify we have 1 report on Fennec 29 and 2 reports on Fennec 32, so it looks like it's at least 29+.  I have no knowledge about bespoke language features on these devices.  A quick Google search made it seem that they don't have Zawgyi by default.

I'm not sure that this is actually our / Android's issue, but was asked to go ahead and file :)

Thanks

To make any progress with this bug we would need to get a technical user who is experiencing this to install the Android SDK and then have them issue the following commands

  mkdir fonts-from-android
  cd fonts-from-android
  adb pull /system/fonts/

to "pull" everything from the device's /system/fonts/ into a directory on your computer; then zip that into an archive and attach to this bug or email them to us.
