Since you only see this issue in browsers, and not in any other software, my first instinct would be to try with a blank profile. In Firefox, run "firefox --profilemanager" and try creating a new, blank profile. There should be a similar way to change profiles in Chromium. If that works, then try disabling all your extensions and see if your original profile works. If it does, re-enable the extensions one-by-one (if you have a lot, try enabling them in batches of 10 or so) and try to see if one of them may be responsible. Which version of Firefox are you running? If you're running the main branch, does installing the ESR branch work? Vice-versa? Do you have any other fonts installed besides the noto- fonts? I have the following fonts installed for Japanese text. If you don't have them installed, does installing them help? ja-kanjistrokeorders-ttf-3.001p0 font to view stroke order diagrams for Kanji, Kana and etc ja-mplus-ttf-20060520p5 high quality Japanese truetype fonts ja-sazanami-ttf-20040629p3 japanese true type fonts Beyond that, I'm not sure what else to suggest. I don't have any problems with Firefox displaying any CJK characters, though I'm running OpenBSD-current. Upgrading to a snapshot and seeing if that makes any difference would be a simple way to see if anything in -current has fixed the issue you're seeing too. Hopefully you can manage to narrow down the issue. If you do, please send a follow-up email to the list so that the archives will have it and others can search for it if they hit the same problem. -- Bryan
