Comment 6 for bug 73211

i installed and tested this font (with no other uralic fonts present),
and it still does not work correctly. it does not seem to contain
correct unicode mappings, or at least it does not display the special
udmurt and mari characters in firefox (firefox falls back on a
different font, freemono perhaps, to display those characters even
when the rest of the page is shown in monouralic.)

furthermore some special characters are incorrectly displayed as
cyrillic on pages using the monouralic font in firefox. for example,
the "dagger" character (utf-8 %E2%80%A0, U+2020) is incorrectly
displayed as a modified cyrillic Ka.

note: all tests were done on utf-8 encoded pages where firefox was
correctly detecting the encoding and characters from other parts of
unicode were displayed correctly (in different fonts, of course).
