Does your Tools-Options-Content-Fonts & Colors-Advanced-Armenian have the correct armenian font on your system?

I did not change anything on the different computers i use. With the new
firefox, all the armenian caracters are trasnformed into "?". With the older
version, there is no problem.

You changed the Fx version.
Fx 1.5.0.2+ changed the font search method, hence the fonts may not be found unless you specified explicitly.
So, what's your armenian settings on Fx? Is it installed on your system? Does it have the armenian characters?

I imagine the armenian caracters are on all the machinesi saw because a few days before and even now with 1.5.0.1, i can see them every where.

if we have to change manualy something in the gestion of the font 1.5.0.2 to be abble to see these caracters, it's a realy big proglem, because there are lot's of website that are written with text in armenian, and today, it's impossible to read them ... to do it, U have to use IE, Opera or Safari .. but our favorite browser ... not anymore

after the visit of this page, http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/utf8.html , every thing work fine.

it changed something automaticly in my configuration, but i don't know what. I'm sure it's the fonts configuration but how did it works ?? i'va looked at the code, and there is nothing particular, no script, no css ...

any idea ? 

fact is that i want to reproduce this comportment with my webages, so that the armenian caracters can "always" be visible,

Attachment: patch

This is a regression of bug 311378.
FindCharUnicodeRange() didn't find Armenian characters correctly.
