Ummm, forget it. Further investigation revealed that no, mainstream Unicode fonts don't support Burmese -- but that there are a few that do. Furthermore, I installed the Unicode BMP Fallback font and Gecko browsers now *only* show the fallback glyphs -- and they aren't the internal ones, those look slightly different. I have no idea what Gecko (and Opera) was using as replacements for Burmese. However, further experimentation revealed the following: - Installing a Burmese font (SIL Padauk) solved the problems with Gecko and Iron, but had no effect on Opera and IE. - Furthermore, installing fallback fonts (SIL Unicode BMP Fallback and Apple Last Resort) *broke* the correct displays for Gecko browsers -- they would display the fallback fonts instead of the Padauk glyphs. Well, at least I *imagine* those glyphs are correct. I can't read Burmese, I was only trying to get rid of the ugly blank boxes... I have to have a look on Bugzilla, there's probably a relevant bug covering this... -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
