I will do further tests but it seems to be a font selection/substitution issue: if I style the <span> with a Khmer Unicode font, characters will show properly. This was working flawlessly under firefox 2.0 using the same computer. Probably a cairo/thebes related problem... Reproducible: Always

hrm, should have mentioned this before: some Khmer fonts can be downloaded @ khmeros.info

A simple test case with two <p> elements. 1st <p> will not display Khmer Unicode 2nd <p> will display Khmer Unicode after setting a Khmer Unicode font It seems font substitution is broken... Interestingly, if you go on 'view source', the Unicode text will appear without any problem. Will attach a screenshot later.

testcase using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070205 Minefield/3.0a2pre without CSS font-family statement, Unicode gets screwed up...

this works correctly for me. Can you run with NSPR_LOG_MODULEs=winfonts:5 NSPR_LOG_FILE=c:\foo.txt and post the output? should look something like: 0[ba3390]: trying: Times New Roman 0[ba3390]: Trying to find fonts for: x-khmr (KHMER) 0[ba3390]: trying: Khmer OS 0[ba3390]: Khmer OS - worked 0[ba3390]: trying: Khmer OS System 0[ba3390]: Khmer OS System - worked

stuart, on Windows, font substitution works ok; it's on Linux that the process fails to select appropriate font & text vanishes. I'll try to run test with these variables on my linux box tonight...

ah, ok. sorry I confused myself!

hrm, on my linux box, tried NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5 (not aware of *nix equivalent of winfonts name). Firefox doesn't output any fonts substitution message in foo.txt... I'm lost.

To get a Khmer Unicode font (not coming by default in any OS) http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/khmer/KhmerOSsys.ttf?download

Both lines in the testcase are identical in a current trunk build
