Are you trying to display hindi or use an Indic script? If so, this is almost certainly a known bug. Sorry.

I am with Peter % curl -I http://hamdardweekly.com/ HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 06:58:16 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.48 (Linux/SuSE) Last-Modified: Fri, 27 Feb 2004 21:44:59 GMT ETag: "fa6fd-1c9-694f0cc0" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 457 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 It is possible that you are using a 'fake' encoding with a font such as DRChatrikWeb which matches. This is not going to work in compliant browsers which have a correct way of achieving what you want. See http://webtips.dan.info/char.html and various pages linked from there.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Paul, 1.0 uses code that's not been touched since April of 2004. Please test in 1.5 beta 2 and see if this problem still exists. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/

If this is not a T.E. bug, then it may be a question of whether the site was hoping to be renderered in a quirks mode, but had, perhaps unwittingly, triggered standards compliant mode. I would surprised if this report led to any improvement in Firefox, and, of course, it may be a duplicate.

(In reply to paul_kainth from comment #11) > Verified even with version 2.0.0.3 bug is still there. I cannot reproduce with 3.6.24 but I might have such fonts installed on my system. Paul, is this still an issue in Firefox 3.6 or 8.0 for you?

The hamdardweekly.com site mentioned in the URL field is now serving its content in Unicode, and displays fine for me. (With no requirement to download a special font.) The site was almost certainly relying on a custom-encoded (non-Unicode-compliant) font in the past, and Firefox did not support that. Now that the site's text is standards-based, it works as expected, and this report is no longer relevant.
