Reported to me by a Yiddish user:
the nightly build:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS 5.8 sun4u; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010516
I find that the reversal looks good, but all the composing characters
are
separated from their base. For instance, the word "lomir" in the first
text paragraph. The alef is separated from its HEBREW POINT QAMATS;
they
should be together.

I dont personally agree, I think from the comments on 60546 that it is windows
specific wheras this bug is on Sun/Solaris.

Changing QA contact to giladehven@hotmail.com.
Changing component to "Bidi..." and adding intl keyword.
Gilad, can you confirm (reproduce) this problem? Thanks.

Copied from n.p.m.i18n:
In spite of their otherwise good BIDI support, Mozilla 0.9.1 and 0.9.2
as well as the nightly build as of yesterday fail to display Hebrew
diacritics in correct positions above letters if the CSS property
TEXT-ALIGN is set to the value JUSTIFY, whether internally or
externally, for an inline element containing the combination of
Hebrew letters and diacritics. It took me a while to pin down this
as the environment of the buggy display.

I'd attatch a sample of what Tsuguya is talking about, but Bugzilla currently
wont let me.
You can see it at http://mail.hlmm.com.au/diacritics.html
If you have problems with this URL - contact me direct.

Is this a Unix only problem. Can we reproduce the same problem on window?

Thank you Gilad for your service to this component, and best of luck to you

Comment 19•20 years ago

Problem is not specific to Sun hardware, nor to Solaris per se; I'm getting
exactly the same thing here on Mandrake 9.2 on x86. All nikkud pointings in
rtl text display to the left of their consonants. This includes not just
vowels but also other marks, such as dagesh and accent marks. I am not
sufficiently empowered to change the hardware field from Sun to All, but I
can confirm the issue on Linux/x86, with Firefox 0.9.3.
See also this Wikipedia article, which can serve as a testcase and also
has notes on where the marks should be positioned:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niqqud
Comment 21•20 years ago

Still here in Firefox 1.0 on Linux/x86. Please note that Qt renders nikkud
(nearly) correctly even in simple text fields. Is there a way to borrow their
ideas without license contamination?
Perhaps a related issue is that some combining diacritics are rendered over the
following character, instead of the preceding one. E.g. U+0300, U+0301, U+0304
are displayed incorrectly, while U+0302 and U+0304 are OK.

Please please please FIXIT! This begins to look embarrassing! It's year 2006 now and the bug is open since 2001.
Mozilla and Firefox are two graphical application on my Linux desktop that doesn't display nikkud correctly. Most GTK and Qt application are able to do that.
Comment 23•18 years ago

I believe this is the same bug, or a near cognate:
In Linux, but not in Windows, Firefox displays Arabic short vowels "between" consonants instead of "over" them.
Using "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.5) Gecko/20060714 Firefox/1.5.0.5 - Build ID: 2006071404"
See the Arabic part of the heading of http://users.belgacom.net/antoine.mechelynck/ as an example. (With recent Fx builds I get it every time under Linux, never under W32. Just browse to the above URI to see it.)

Oops! Wrong URI! http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/ is the right one. (but the wrong one has a <meta> to load the right one anyway.)

Note: some images are missing but what matters is the text. I intentionally added both "good" and "bad" screenshots so people can compare regardless of how their version of Gecko renders it on their platform.

This will be solved in Firefox 3 for all versions. Meanwhile you may be able to use a version of Firefox with Pango enabled. See http://sinhala.linux.lk/enabling-pango-in-firefox-to-enable-sinhala

I'll be overjoyed when this bug is fixed, even if only in Gecko 1.9, but I'll believe it when I see it in a Sm trunk nightly.

That page applies only to Fedora and Ubuntu distributions of Firefox. I use Mozilla distributions of both Fx2 (Gecko 1.8+) and SeaMonkey (Gecko 1.9a), as downloaded straight from ftp.mozilla.org, currently the following:
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070131 BonEcho/2.0.0.2pre" - Build ID: 2007013104
Configure arguments: --enable-application=browser --enable-update-channel=nightly --enable-update-packaging --disable-debug '--enable-optimize=-Os -freorder-blocks -fno-reorder-functions -gstabs+' --disable-tests --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft --disable-freetype2 --enable-svg --enable-canvas --enable-static --disable-shared
"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a2pre) Gecko/20070131 SeaMonkey/1.5a" - Build ID: 2007013101
Configure arguments: --enable-application=suite --disable-tests --enable-extensions=default,tasks --without-system-nspr --without-system-jpeg --without-system-zlib --without-system-png --without-system-mng --disable-debug '--enable-optimize=-O2 -gstabs+' --enable-crypto --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2 --enable-xft --disable-freetype2 --disable-xprint --disable-canvas --disable-svg
Both of them exhibit the bug, both with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO unset and with MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0 . Any ideas?

As of today new SeaMonkey builds should be produced with the following config:
'--enable-optimize=-O2 -gstabs+' --enable-canvas --enable-svg --enable-pango --enable-default-toolkit=cairo-gtk2

Let's try to unpack the non-installer .tar.bz2: unpacking works, but:

Resolved WONTFIX by bsmedberg. "Upgrade to SuSE 10 or stay with the old malfunctioning January version of SeaMonkey."

Right now there are two serious regressions that make Arabic unreadable on trunk builds: bug 369198, which has a patch awaiting review, and bug 368996.
Comment 38•18 years ago
|

I have finally succeeded to upgrade to openSUSE 10.2. "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a3pre) Gecko/20070210 SeaMonkey/1.5a" (Build ID: 2007021001), a Cairo build, does not exhibit this bug; but it suffers from bug 368996 on Arabic text in some (not all) fonts invoked by CSS and present on the system.

The original bug described has been fixed.
All of the bugs reported in the comments, except bug 368996, have also been fixed.
Is this a meta bug? Shouldn't it be closed?
