This is the same with all indic unicode text. The text gets scattered on using the above properties. I think this is a serious issue. Attaching screenshots below..
The screenshot shows the bug. The Unicode is scattered around when the above mentioned CSS properties are used.

Seems to be related to bug 107790. Feel free to REOPEN if this isn't correct. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 107790 ***

No, that's not correct. Duplicate means _duplicate_, not "related to". And this has nothing to do with errors in the byte stream. It has everything to do with shaping of Tamil characters and how well we do or don't do it. Please don't mark bugs duplicate unless you're 100% sure they're duplicate. If you have doubts, mark them dependent or something.

Hi, any updates on this? Firefox on win32 is losing out lot of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indic">indic</a> users. :(
