[Bug 54091] Re: Font rendering problem in Gecko based applications

[Noumaan Yaqoob]

I installed Ubuntu Feisty and we still need to add

MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=0

in /etc/environment

in order to properly view Urdu pages. I don't think it is a bug, because
it is a decission made by the Ubuntu developers to disable pango in
Firefox shipped with Ubuntu. I installed Debian Etch and using iceweasel
2.0.3 which works fine without adding anything anywhere. I do not notice
any significant performance issues on Debian iceweasel where pango
support is enabled by default.

One possible solution for the problem is that when a user installs any
urdu related language page, or the font ttf-nafees Ubuntu automatically
enables pango support. However with pango Ubuntu's firefox is really
very slow even a non tech guy like me can tell the difference between
iceweasel and ubuntu's firefox without doing any speed or performance
tests.
