More Firefox font rendering bugs

[ewx]

http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/junk/cc.html in Linux Firefox:

Windows Firefox is not really any better:

IE7 gets it right:

Konqueror doesn't even try:

I don't have Safari to hand right now.

I guess for best results send precomposed characters to the browser, and put up with bad rendering where none are available l-(

(These are the Firefox and Konqueror from Debian etch.)

An up-to-date Firefox (2.0.0.10) on my creaky old RH9 box at work manages this:

i.e. the combining characters exist in the fonts but the renderer doesn't appear to have noticed that they're supposed to be combining.

Mind you, this system has a severely funted font setup: the same Firefox also renders U+03C0 GREEK SMALL LETTER PI as if it were the symbol for the universal set.
