Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

Please see Quote [6], [8], [10]. Also use IE 6.0 to see them. You will notice that the "dot" below n is creating an extra space after n in all these cases. 

If, however, bold is not used, then this "dot" does not creates an extra space. 

I did look around in the bug list, if this is a repeat then I am sorry.

Also, I have a computer with Mozilla installed from old times (2 yrs). It does not displays Indian Devnagari Unicode (or even English diacritic unicode) properly. i tried many things (removing preference files, removing user setup files, finding n deleting mozilla / firefox entries in the registy) but nothing worked. I want to ensure proper unicode rendering in that computer.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just visit the website I gave.

Attachment: Minimized testcase

The first line in the testcase uses n and U+0323 COMBINING DOT BELOW as in the given URI; the second uses U+1E47 LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH DOT BELOW. This seems to be similar to bug 281483.

At least on Linux, the bug is also present in a trunk build with Cairo.
