[Bug 1209176] [NEW] Make Firefox use the same hyphenation pattern as LibreOffice

Wed Aug 7 10:55:34 UTC 2013

Public bug reported:

The Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 supports the CSS feature
hyphens:auto with the prefix -moz. But it doesn’t use the same
hyphenation patterns as for example LibreOffice (as the “fixed” bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/894166 claims).

I’ve made a screenshot comparing the hyphenation between LibreOffice (on
the left) and Firefox 23 (on the right). Note that in this case all
hyphenations of Firefox are wrong, while LibreOffice gets it right.

Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Firefox 23.0+build2-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
LibreOffice Writer 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4
hyphen-de 1:3.3.0-2ubuntu3
