User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.52 Safari/536.5 Steps to reproduce: I developed a page that uses "Southeast arrow" unicode character (hex) ↘ (dec) ↘ I then updated Firefox and it no longer displays that character correctly. Actual results: Upon being updated to Firefox to version 13 the character is displayed correctly, except it is given a disproportionate height that is approximately 6-8 times the height of the character (see attached picture). To test if this was Firefox specific I had a coworker update his Firefox, and the display broke on his computer also. Expected results: The character should have displayed appropriately.
Summary: Unicode character not displaying correctly. → Unicode character ↘ not displaying correctly.
There's a similar issue reported in bug 762601.

I only have this Aspire One 533. "they" burned up my last hard drive,right after I complained to the local Town Marshall about computer intrusion a year ago, May 2011. We had no local elections that day. I went in to find out if my polling place had moved. I then said, "I think that there might be a computer intrusion again."and he said "Bring it in." That night, the computer was Whirring and so hot that it crispied the hard drive. Alas, my son (who installed this hard drive and didn't save the old one) I couldn't turn it off on that Tues. My typing is now being redirected to other parts of this page. alicia...
This is the issue of certain symbols now being assigned the Cambria Math font, which under the GDI backend renders with excessive ascent/descent metrics.
