I'm running firefox 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.11-0ubuntu0.6.06.1, the current version in Dapper with security and updates. Yes, it's still doing it, as nothing has changed. I see that I'm missing a font containing U+20D1 (COMBINING RIGHT HARPOON ABOVE), and that a placeholder character is being displayed there; this is not a bug. The bug report is that the combining characters that *do* exist (the over-ring above the lambda, the dot and double-dot above v and x) aren't combining. If you have a screenshot of this page rendering on your system that places the ring over the lambda and the dots over the v and the x, please attach it and specify your version of firefox and other libraries which might be involved.

I'm running libfreetype6 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.3 and libpango1.0-0 1.12.3-0ubuntu3; if there are other packages which influence font rendering, let me know and I'll attach that information as well. If this is a problem in a font rendering library, let me know which one and (hopefully) send me to a test program which simply displays characters in that font. If this is a bug in a font, which doesn't properly specify combining-character information, please let me know how to find out which font it is, and who to send a bug report to in that case.
