On Windows 7 today's Firefox nightly. This install of Windows7 does not have any additional fonts installed. As I recall my comment 3 I had a system with the STIX fonts installed.
Firefox will use a proportional glyph if a monosapced glyph does not exist on the system. This will cause the text document to have an odd alignment on rows where Unicode monospaced glyphs do not exist on the system. I verified this assumption by opening the text document in Sublime text editor. It shows many instances where Windows does not have the correct monospaced glyph, it displays the Unicode missing glyph symbol rather than doing fallback. I believe that doing fallback is the better thing to do for web browsers. Jonathan Kew would know for sure, or possibly there are older bugs to reference? If people want monospaced line drawing to work they should have a robust monospace font installed such as the ones provided by the STIX project. http://sourceforge.net/projects/stixfonts/files/latest/download https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIX_Fonts_project http://www.stixfonts.org/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/51554 Title: Unicode combining characters don't combine properly.
