3.

Mozilla 1.8a still **not** displaying Tamil Unicode fonts properly

Webfonts are used in the page.
<style type="text/css">
<!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: A.Umar

@font-face {
font-family: TheneeUniTx;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src:
url(http://www.geocities.com/csd_one/umar/THENEE.eot);
}-->
</style>

Note that Mozilla 1.8a6 build 2004121205 renders the page perfectly here; I use
latha.ttf for Tamil language.

If the user has a default font typeface for Tamil language, then the document
will be displayed fine. Mozilla does not support dynamically embedded webfonts
(also @font-face; bug 70132).
