[Bug 51554] Re: Unicode combining characters don't combine properly.

[Adam Buchbinder]

I'm running firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.11-0ubuntu0.6.06.1, the current
version in Dapper with security and updates. Yes, it's still doing it,
as nothing has changed. I see that I'm missing a font containing U+20D1
(COMBINING RIGHT HARPOON ABOVE), and that a placeholder character is
being displayed there; this is not a bug. The bug report is that the
combining characters that *do* exist (the over-ring above the lambda,
the dot and double-dot above v and x) aren't combining. If you have a
screenshot of this page rendering on your system that places the ring
over the lambda and the dots over the v and the x, please attach it and
specify your version of firefox and other libraries which might be
involved.

I'm running libfreetype6 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.3 and libpango1.0-0
1.12.3-0ubuntu3; if there are other packages which influence font
rendering, let me know and I'll attach that information as well. If this
is a problem in a font rendering library, let me know which one and
(hopefully) send me to a test program which simply displays characters
in that font. If this is a bug in a font, which doesn't properly specify
combining-character information, please let me know how to find out
which font it is, and who to send a bug report to in that case.
