208037 - Some Unicode text is not displaying in the requested font face

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Greg K.]

FizzillaMach/2003-05-29-08-trunk no longer displays some font glyphs such as
horizontal ellipses (…) in fonts such as TITUS Cyberbit Basic
(<http://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/unicode/tituut.asp>) under Mac OS X 10.2.6.

Also fails using Mozilla 1.3, which is what leads me to believe this problem may
only occur under Mac OS X 10.2.6.

The testcase works in Safari and IE.

This bug is more serious than just a few glyphs. Mozilla refuses to display
lots of non-ASCII characters in TITUS Cyberbit Basic (and other fonts as well,
such as Arial Unicode MS) when the document explicitly specifies that font.

It might be interesting for someone running 10.3.x to confirm this as well,
since I知 still back at 10.2.8.

Note that Safari displays both testcases properly.

Works fine using Win/1.6, so pp.

Still a problem using OS X 10.3.3.

Appears fixed using Camino/2007010201 (1.2+), probably due to Cairo.
