That looks like an incorrect and/or missing font issue for sure. Was firefox-43 fine? yes 43 is correct change fonts and character sets in 44 do not help Created attachment 424254 [details]

What asian font packages do you have installed? Any or all of the following: media-fonts/kochi-substitute (For Japanese) media-fonts/arphicfonts (For Chinese) media-fonts/baekmuk-fonts (For Korean) If you don't have any of those try installing them. I think that firefox-43 had one or more of these fonts embedded but at this point it doesn't look like they exist in the firefox-44 codebase right now. I'll keep looking into it but emerging those packages helped for me. yes after install font all work. thank you) it bad that they removed the built-in support cjk fonts you add fonts as depend ? media-fonts/bitstream-cyberbit that would be nice and 1 package Is this bug reproducible when fonts mentioned above are not installed, but media-fonts/noto (which aims to support scripts for all languages) is installed? (In reply to Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis from comment #8) > Is this bug reproducible when fonts mentioned above are not installed, but > media-fonts/noto (which aims to support scripts for all languages) is > installed? work correct I had a discussion with the mozilla fonts guy -- the reason why these fonts stopped rendering seems to be because of an update to OTS , which made it be more strict on errors or issues in web fonts. In firefox-43 and earlier it was the web fonts that were supporting the rendering of these characters, rather than something in firefox itself. The actual fix is for the website to use fixed web fonts, however firefox will fallback to using system fonts if there is one that will render the characters properly. I'm considering adding a dependency on media-fonts/noto anyways to cover all cases; what do people thing about this? +1 I little no understand situation. Firefox throws from himself fonts and want to use the system fonts? Then gentoo need to add some nice fonts as dependence on nls/utf-8/X. Vote from me to it) (In reply to salikov.alexey from comment #12) > I little no understand situation. Firefox throws from himself fonts and want > to use the system fonts? > Then gentoo need to add some nice fonts as dependence on nls/utf-8/X. > Vote from me to it) The issue is that the websites themselves provide the fonts, normally, to firefox and other browsers. BUT these fonts have errors, and firefox starting with v.44 became more strict about rejecting fonts that have errors in them (security and relates issues). Firefox can use system fonts instead if the system fonts have support for these characters, though. maybe it different bug, but i'm find interesting page http://mozilla.github.io/content/web-lit-whitepaper/ , where any text no visible. now i from www-client/firefox-bin-38.7.1::gentoo it's "feature with fonts" now working for all new version ff (include esr branch)? If you feel I have closed your bug and it is still a current issue, please reopen and update it completely. We will not work bugs that have no ebuild in tree any longer or can not be reproduced with a current system. Thank You for your support and understanding The Mozilla Team Dependency on useful fonts is still not in ebuilds of www-client/firefox, but I think that users should be able to install appropriate fonts themselves. |
