[Bug 91766] Specific Kurdish characters like U+06CE (ARABIC LETTER YEH WITH SMALL V) are not displayed in contextual forms

[Erdal Ronahi]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Unicode character U+06CE (ARABIC LETTER YEH WITH SMALL V) should have
the same contextual forms as U+064A (ARABIC LETTER YEH).

The bug is described well at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=341303, however it seems to
be an Ubuntu bug rather than a Firefox bug.

Compare the two screenshots in:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=225598

The above part shows the bug: The ligatures in line 1 and 2 are
different. Below the correct rendering, line 1 and 2 show the same
ligature. The test case itself is at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=225526

While the bug is fixed in Firefox 2.0 in Windows, Iceweasel 2.0.0.1 in
Knoppix and Iceweasel 2.0.0.2 in Debian, it is still present in Ubuntu
with Firefox 2.0.0.2. (Edgy and Feisty) Epiphany in Ubuntu is also
affected.
