438558 - Dagesh and niqqud in wrong places (Hebrew script)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 60546

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

I have began to study Hebrew scripture, and I've found that relevant pages in the English (and Spanish) versions of Wikipedia renders diacritical marks (dagesh and niqqud, for instance) in the wrong places. For instance, the dagesh in letter Bet is always placed on the left side of the letter, instead of on the center ("inside" the letter).

However, the same pages viewed on the same PC, but with MSIE 7, renders them correctly.

The same happens with other sites, not just Firefox.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagesh with Firefox
2. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dagesh with MSIE 7
3. Compare the tables, or even the first sentence: The dagesh (דָּגֵשׁ) is a diacritic used ...
Actual Results:  
Diacritics in wrong places (always beside letters)

Expected Results:  
Diacritics in right places (above, below, inside or beside letters)

Locale: es_ES

This seems to work for me; can you retest with the latest trunk build?

Sorry, not trunk build but it is branch now (just the name). The link is correct.
