What made you think that this bug is fixed?  It is not.  Have a
look at the test page from my original bug report:

   http://devanaagarii.net/

and you will see that the Devanagari text is still not correctly
formed.  Compare the incorrect rendering of Mozilla:

with that of Konqueror:

   http://students.washington.edu/baums/tmp/mozilla-devanagari.png

which, like any Qt application, has been able to render Devanagari
for quite a while.

A look at debian/rules shows that nothing has changed and
--enable-ctl is still absent, so no surprise that it still wonât
work.  Hereâs a page from the Mozilla website about --enable-ctl:

   http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ctl/

Also, please note that an alternative rendering system for Indic
scripts has recently been implemented, in which Mozilla uses the
Pango library, see:

I donât know, however, whether the --enable-pango option has yet
made it from CVS into the Mozilla releases.
