30353 - Thai Page shows a weird character for <wbr>

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 3/3/2000 Win32 build **

The above URL shows a Thai page encoded in TIS-620. 
Many Thai pages uses <wbr>'s to compensate for the lack 
of good layout mechanisms on some browsers. But these <wbr>s
on the page are showing as small dark circles under Mozilla.

The same is true of Win-874 Thai pages:

9099 got fixed, so this problem has also been addressed. ftang, will we look
into 11566 or leave it on buster's plate?
