Package: iceweasel Version: 2.0.0.6-1 Severity: normal Tags: l10n *** Please type your report below this line ***
When using the "Tibetan Machine Uni" font (which is packaged with Debian and intended as the default font for Tibetan script), Iceweasel is displaying every combining character separately as a dotted circle with the combining character attached to it, rather than correctly attached to the previous character. See screenshot: http://www.aerifal.cx/~dalias/images/iceweasel_tmuni_bug.png And what it should look like (using a different font): http://www.aerifal.cx/~dalias/images/iceweasel_jomo_ok.png Pango is enabled; it is required for display of Tibetan text. This does not seem to be a bug in Pango, however, since both GTK widgets and GIMP successfully render Tibetan text using Pango. On the other hand, it very likely could be a misuse of Pango, since Abiword exhibits incorrect display (albeit different from the Iceweasel issue; Abiword seems to ignore the OpenType tables completely) with this font as well, while working fine with other fonts. As a workaround, users can remove the ttf-tmuni package and install the ttf-dzongkha package instead, which provides a different font for Tibetan script. However, users of these languages will often want to have all Tibetan fonts installed for word processing use, etc., which will cause any website explicitly requesting the "Tibetan Machine Uni" font to become completely illegible. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-rc5-nkl1 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.23.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.18.0-2 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.6.1-1+b1 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.10-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.2.1-4 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.0-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.10.13-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhunspell-1.1-0 1.1.9-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libjpeg62 6b-13 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnspr4-0d 4.6.7-1 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libnss3-0d 3.11.7-1 Network Security Service libraries ii libpango1.0-0 1.16.5-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-2 PNG library - runtime ii libstdc++6 4.2.1-4 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxp6 1:1.0.0.xsf1-1 X Printing Extension (Xprint) clie ii libxrender1 1:0.9.3-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii psmisc 22.5-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-5 compression library - runtime iceweasel recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
