How come Konqueror manages it?
Now I am getting a bit confused here. Ajay wrote about checking for ie whether the --enable-pango flag exists or not. Not checking it ie enabling it. I have no doubts that Konqueror is a fine browser capable of handling Indic display/rendering and printing. However, that is precisely not the point. In the last 2 cases where I have read (either on mailing list or IRC) about Firefox b0rking on Indic, screenshots are in place to show that given a particular base OS and a particular Firefox release, Indic rendering does work (and these days as does Indic printing). What could be well served if out of all this "Konqueror is best, Firefox drags a**" mail a framework of some sort arises which is relevant to test cases that can prove whether the particular website when viewed using Firefox provides a functionally complete viewing experience. That might turn out to be more than helpful given that the Firefox roadmap is perhaps aimed at a Cairo integration too (from existing Pango). If it is a distribution specific issue, you are practised enough to file a distribution bug along side filing one upstream. Additionally, there is a Mozilla Project Day at foss.in/2007 - do raise these issues there ie if you still want to see Firefox as a browser comparable to if not better than Konqueror. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHCGvdXQZpNTcrCzMRAk8HAKC+mk4QIus8LyEcmCtxnKrITjjDcQCgxQGQ weWJESl9+MQk48uY4FHXKZM= =JDsN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - September 28-29, 2007 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
