They are: a) in the title bar b) in the Certificate Hierarchy pane, and c) in the Field Value pane for the Certificate Subject field The first two of those problems were reported long ago in bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=234856 and have been known (and unfixed) for about 5 years now. (Sigh.) Unfortunately, the component of Mozilla that does GUI display for crypto/cert related aspects of Firefox is understaffed, and is certainly underrepresented in this discussion group. The third is something of a mystery to me, because it is not generally a problem with other certs that have non-western characters in them. I have certs with Chinese and Turkish characters in in their CN and O fields, and they display correctly in the Field Value pane. So, I wonder if this problem is a problem with the rendering of Thai characters, or if it is perhaps a peculiarity with your system. I suggest you file a bug about the problem of Thai characters not displaying the Field Value pane of the cert manager. File it in bugzilla using bug 234856 as a guide. Attach a copy of the binary DER cert to the bug. Please put my email address on the CC list for that bug. _______________________________________________ dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
