I'm just trying to understand better where the problem of
incorrect rendering of indic fonts in firefox comes from. Do I
understand it correctly that firefox uses pango for font
rendering? I was trying to see what other packages use pango,
it seems abiword also does, I tried to edit a text file in
utf-8 with some hindi in it, and I get exactly the same
rendering.
