User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:13.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/13.0 Build ID: 20120601173917 Steps to reproduce: Tried to read a text on Firefox 13.0 for Ubuntu containing the Hebrew letter "LETTER YOD WITH HIRIQ". (Unicode value FB1D). Actual results: The letter appears as an empty square. Expected results: I should see the letter YOD with a dot(HIRIQ) under it.
Could you please add a small testcase with this letter ?

This sounds a lot like bug 756850, which was fixed in the recent 13.0.1 release. Could you please confirm whether the problem persists in 13.0.1 (or in Firefox Beta 14 or Aurora 15)?
@Jonathan: Well, I don't know when I will have version 13.0.1 in my Ubuntu, I saw the bug, and i only see this problem with the specific combination of YOD and HIRIQ. @Matthias: I don't know what test case I should add.
Attached file testcase
This is possibly a different case from bug 756850, since that was about the combination of HEBREW LETTER YOD and HEBREW POINT HIRIQ (U+05D9 and U+05B4), but this is about the precomposed HEBREW LETTER YOD WITH HIRIQ (U+FB1D). Attached testcase includes all the Hebrew characters in the Unicode Presentation Forms block from U+FB1D - U+FB4F in a few different fonts, including the usual suspects from bug 756850 and its dupes
For the record, I don't see the bug in the attachment on any platform, before or after the fix for bug 756850. Amit: on what site did you see the bug originally?

Amit, could you please use the font-info addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fontinfo/) to determine which font is being used where you see the problem? Highlight the piece of text that's showing the box, and then right-click it and choose Show Fonts in Selection from the context menu. Thanks.
I saw two: Arial and Arial Negrata in: http://www.zooloo.co.il/calc/Zooloo_Nakdan.asp?query= When I type the letter YOD and then click the "חיריק" button, I get the empty rectangle.

@Tomer: I work with version 16.0.1 these days, and as far as I'm concerned this bug can be closed.
Closing this bug as the reporter confirm it doesn't reproduce any more on comment 9.
