Maybe that conclusion goes too far. Could be that it is only a problem with the letter à (u+092c). My guess (but I donÂt know any Indic language) is that this is rare letter, otherwise this problem would have been spotted much earlier. This bug occurs in Mozilla (for Linux and Windows). It occurs in Abiword. It does not occur in Openoffice, gucharmap, or bluefish; and it does not occur in MSIE (in Windows, naturally). The real experts should be able to determine from this which sub-system (used by Mozilla and Abiword, but not by the other programs) causes the bug. It would be nice if solutions to common problems (in this case 'how to put an UTF-8 string on to the screen', solved, e.g., by Openoffice) were shared between different open-source projects.
