Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.4-2
Severity: wishlist
By default firefox is not able to render telugu (an indian language) properly
while Konqueror renders it very nicely.
Documentation at http://telugu.sarovar.org/wiki/index.php/Browser says that we
need to get an indic enabled build of firefox. It would be nice if this
capability is available in Debian by default (similar to Fedora core 3) without
any user intervention.
Currently the indic enabled build for mozilla 1.7 is available at
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.7/contrib/mozilla-1.7-i686-pc-linux-gnu-gtk2-xft-pango.tar.gz
and for mozilla-firefox 1.0.2, it is available at
http://bunny.medhas.org/download/firefox-1.0.2.en-US.linux-pango-i686.installer.tar.gz
thanks

Since it appeared to be a local misconfiguration on your part I'm going
to close. Glad you got it working.
