I finally managed to get a firefox incorporating your patch to
work on Debian (I borrowed it from FC6). I am very impressed. Now,
for the first time, both MATHML *and* Indic scripts can be
displayed *and printed* from Linux. Congratulations on a very good
piece of work.

I wrote about it on my page:

I hope other distros (in particular Debian) will soon follow
Fedora's example in applying your patch.

Regards, Jan
