Are you actually using an 'xlib' build?  If you did not build yourself, the
answer is "no".

More to the point, are you using a gtk build with xft support?

Comment 2

[Márton Németh]

Actually, I'm not sure about xft & xlib.
                                                                               
                              
I'm using the distribution called UHU-Linux, and here
ftp://ftp.uhulinux.hu/dists/1.0/sources/mozilla_1.3-3.ub.tar.gz
is the source package of the Mozilla I'm using.

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Ok... what options are you passing to configure?

Comment 4

[Tom Mraz]

I can confirm it on Mozilla 1.4 gtk2/xft on Redhat 9.
I see it on both urls mentioned here and also on:

Comment 5

[Tom Mraz]

The problem is caused by a character which isn't part of the character set in
which the page is encoded or maybe even by character which isn't included in
font used to display the page.

The bug is probably present only in Gtk2 or Xft builds.

Could someone please reassign it properly?

gtk2/xft is blizzard all the way.  And this is a duplicate; please find the
original and mark duplicate.

Comment 7

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

gtk2/xft isn't the default mozilla release. not gonna block for a gtk2/xft build
issue.
