According to the font documentation: "Khmer Busra dot This font does something that a Unicode font should not do and that is it does not show the ‘correct’ symbol for one particular Unicode codepoint. It shows a dotted circle in the place where a ក should be shown. It may be used for didactic purposes. This is to circumvent a particular limitation of the Microsoft Unicode implementation that does not permit some Khmer symbols to stand on their own together with another character. This font is not suited for displaying any Khmer text."
So it's not broken but doesn't infirm the patch ;-) Olivier 2012/11/21 Mathieu Pellerin <[email protected]> > Jonathan, Behdad, > > Just spent the last twenty minutes testing out the proposed patch > applied to Jonathan's test builds over here > ( > http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[email protected]/ > ). > > The results are good: > - Kh-Battambang works (which was the font that revealed this mess) > - Hanuman works again > - Looking at Jonathan's test page, things are looking very good.
