Description yajva 2009-11-11 07:10:28 UTC 
I am filing this issue to split up the bugs I inadvertently combined in 105446.

The attached file includes a sample asian text (line 2) with Telugu (Pothana2000
font), Grantha (e-Grantha font), and Kannada (Arial Unicode MS) scripts, all
unicode.

Selecting the line 2 and changing to Tohama which does not support any of the
above scripts, renders into empty boxes except for the characters at end of line
(see line 4). Arial Unicode MS glyphs at the end of the  don't change but the
cusor at the end of line 4 and the 'Font Name' combo displays 'Tahoma'. Either
these should have been empty boxes too (if OO phylosophy is 'no script implies
empty boxes') or the combox should have showed 'Arial Unicode MS' since the
rendering is from 'Arial Unicode MS'.
The user is getting false report on the font used for actual rendering.

Could you please also attach the mentioned text? Currently I can only see the
fonts...

MRU->HDU: see the Tahoma formatted part (the square characters). Shouldn't there
be a fallback for such a case? Is this problem perhaps known - I did not find a
duplicate...

Corrected summary.
