Word boundary analysis for line breaking is essential for Thai web page rendering, as Thai is written continuously without word delimitors. Most Thai web pages are created based on an assumption that web browsers are able to wrap lines properly, which is true for some popular browser, but not for Gecko-based ones. With the `libthai' package recently uploaded to sid (now already migrated to etch), Thai word boundary analysis is now possible for applications in debian. And a proposed patch for Mozilla to wrap lines with libthai has been available at Mozilla Bug #7969 for some time. Unfortunately, the 1.8 branch is now frozen. So, we seem to need patching in debian. The patch has been tested by locally distributed binary packages, and no severe problem has been found so far. So, please consider applying the patch, for a serious usability issue for Thai users. The most recent patch is proposed in Comment #51: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7969#c51 and the patch is at: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=220509 When applied, suggesting "libthai0" is also a good idea. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16 Locale: LANG=th_TH, LC_CTYPE=th_TH (charmap=TIS-620) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
