what character set is that page using?  It doesn't load right in any Firefox version I have.

charset=x-user-defined with a "masquerade font" which you need to download (since we don't support dynamic fonts).

Comment 4

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

After downloading http://www.dinamani.com/fonts/tmnews.ttf I can't reproduce this bug in current Linux trunk. Naresh, it's great that you're testing Indic languages and filing bugs, but please read http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/bugs and use nightly builds.

Comment 5

[Stuart Parmenter]

I can reproduce this bug with the downloaded font.

Comment 6

[Simon Montagu :smontagu]

I can also reproduce on Windows, but not with the new textframe turned on.

Comment 7

[Gábor Stefanik]

The new textframe landed, so this should be fixed, I think. Also, do we need to support masquerade fonts? I think that we should simply evangelize on such pages, as Unicode is now the recommended solution.

After installing the font, I can't reproduce, link underlines seem correct. Naresh, if you think this problem still exists, please re-open and post some detail.
