I do not know about the technical aspects. It is just that the Wikipedia page I mentioned is a good test. On Debian the display is clearly not correct, but on Windows (XP with Firefox) it is. On Windows, CTL _printing_ is also OK. A few months ago, even on Debian Sid, Firefox 1.5 could display CTL correctly (but not print it). Now, Iceweasel/Iceape can neither display nor print it. However it is done, it seems that this CTL capability has to be enabled somehow, if Debian wants to retain the interest of Indian users. Perhaps it involves more than --enable-ctl, I don't know. But --disable-ctl definitely seems a step in the wrong direction. According to Wikipedia there are Linux distributions in which it does work. Somebody must know how it is done. It is somewhat like the problem that exists with MATHML (although more serious, because MATHML can at least be _displayed_ in Debian). MATHML can be displayed and printed in Windows, and (reportedly) in Fedora. I cannot test this myself; the Fedora firefox binaries do not run on Debian (glibc incompatibility). But MATHML cannot be printed on Debian. Regards, Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
