Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Please refer this conversation in the Multilingual Support Help Talk for
Wikipedia:
My Notebook is running Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 on the Netbook Remix. I have
followed the instructions for rendering support for Tibetan texts but I
still cannot see it in Wikimedia Projects in certain instances. I have
installed the fonts and have even enabled the Keyboard Indicator to type
in Tibetan or Dzongkha but in certain Wikimedia articles Tibetan text is
invisible. I confirmed this with User:BabelStone. I can see Tibetan on
the Rongzompa article but not in the "your computer" section of the
Help:Multilingual_support_(Indic)#Check_for_existing_support. B9

* I suspect this might be a Firefox bug. The difference between the
Rongzompa article and this one seems to be that that one uses {{bo}} and
this one uses {{lang}}:
* {{bo|t=རོང་ཟོམ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བཟང་པོ}} produces: Tibetan:
རོང་ཟོམ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བཟང་པོ (HTML: <span style="font-family: Jomolhari,'Tibetan
Machine Uni; font-size:larger;';">རོང་ཟོམ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བཟང་པོ</span>) and
* {{lang|bo|རོང་ཟོམ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བཟང་པོ}} produces: རོང་ཟོམ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བཟང་པོ
(HTML: <span xml:lang="bo" lang="bo">རོང་ཟོམ་ཆོས་ཀྱི་བཟང་པོ</span>)
In principle, the latter should work. If you can see the former and
not the latter, it may be related to this Firefox bug I filed (no
response), but it may be an entirely different bug as well. Hope
something helps, Shreevatsa (talk) 18:05, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
