This is a rendering problem on Mac. What happened is user usually do not have Greek font installed and we can use other font to render non-accent greek characters. However, for accent greek, there are no way to render it. Need to talk to Apple about the availability of Greek font. Mark this as a M10 bug.

Change summary from "[PP] Greek characters are not displayed correctly" to "Greek characters are not displayed correctly" . This is a Mac only rendering issue, but not a PP bug. [PP] only mean there are major platform feature difference which prevent QA to test feature.

This is not a [pp] bug, remove [pp]

teruko, could you verify w/ Greek font installed ?

I tested this with Greek fonts, Athenian and Apxnion. When I changed the Character set menu to Mac Greek, the page was not changed anything. I tested in 8-03-08 MAC build.

where you got the font ? Is it come with a script bundle ?

Mark this M14

Not that important. Move it to M19.

When a real Greek font is unavailable, Mozilla should use Symbol (TrueType from Apple or Type 1 from Adobe, whichever is available).

Could someone test this with the following font ? : http://club.euronet.be/frederique.bouras/vusilli.mtt (this is a mac binary file) This is a unicode TTF font with ancient greek caracters, opposite to athenian that is just an ugly hack. I know a bunch of people who are REALLY interested in this feature. You can test the display on this page : http://club.euronet.be/frederique.bouras/essai2.htm This page a list of links to TTF fonts with greek polytonic characters. http://club.euronet.be/frederique.bouras/polices.htm

"When a real Greek font is unavailable, Mozilla should use Symbol" we did use symbol already in the ATSUI fallback. This bug is not a problem on basic Greek character which covered by Symbol font, but accent Greek characters.

OK. I've had the opportunity to test this with a greek support plug-in. The greek add-in that's available here http://eudora.interweb.be/mac/addins.html has a pair of Mac font for greek. After installing these fonts in the font folder, the 07/03 release of Mozilla will make use of them to render accent Greek caracter in utf-8 and in greek encoding. This fonts are bitmap font that look really ugly in large size, but that's not the point. When selecting Appereance/Font, for the greek encoding, the fonts that are installed with this pack will be shown and can be selected. The test was under french Mac OS 9.1. I think this bug can be closed, the only thing that is needed for support of the accent characters is a greek font. Now ancient/polytonic greek is another matter, as only support for TTF font will solve that.

Jean-Marc Desperrier : My recent patch in bug 90804 will solve the TTF issue. On MacOS X only.

this issue is fixed long ago.

Mark as verified according to comment above also all the test pages in this bug display fine with me on latest build.
