114408 - devnagri character improperly shown

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Gaaurav]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98)
BuildID:    2001050515

The problem is with "Devnagri" sript in unicode. While displaying the 
DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN I (093F) as mentioned by the unicode the sign should 
stand left to the consonant, it is being applied. The heading of the page "What 
is unicode in Hindi" at 
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/translations/hindi.html  itself is 
shown wrong by Mozilla. When I entered &#x093F in the "html source" inside 
composer and looked back in the "Normal" the character was shown, however the 
cursor position was to left of the character which should be to the right. This 
is the possible problem why character  DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN I (093F) is shown 
after the character it is applied. The correct word is displayed by Internet 
Explorer (ver 5.50.4134.0600IC) under win98. Even test pango shows correct word 
under linux.
The problem in Mozilla is seen on 0.9 under win98 and Linux.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.visit http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/translations/hindi.html
2. see the heading
3.

Actual Results:  Character  DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN I (093F) shown after the 
consonant

Expected Results:  character  DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN I (093F) should be shown 
before consonant

we have not support devanagari on Window and Linux yet. It should be fine on
Mac. Win2K and XP should be fine too.

[Alok Kumar]

IMHO This is a dup of bug 166520

[Timwi]

I, on the other hand, think this is a dup of bug 202351.

what a hack. I have not touch mozilla code for 2 years. I didn't read these bugs
for 2 years. And they are still there. Just close them as won't fix to clean up.

This is WONTFIX as filed against Windows 98, since that is no longer a supported OS, but Devanagari works correctly on trunk on supported versions of Windows.
