           Summary: Undisplayable glyphs on Wikipedia
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 9
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: medium
          Priority: low
         Component: pango
        AssignedTo: besfahbo at redhat.com
        ReportedBy: beland at alum.mit.edu

I did a fresh installation of Fedora 9 using the network install method and
adding Office/Productivity software in addition to the default set. I'm seeing
undisplayable glyphs on the following pages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punctuation#Unicode
http://www.wikipedia.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenician_alphabet#Encoding

I would expect a default installation to be able to display all glyphs that
appear in Wikipedia, so that readers can learn about them.  Many non-English
glyphs, even fairly obscure ones, are displayed properly, which is excellent. 
It would be nice to finish off the rest.  I don't know if this is a flaw in
Pango, if I would need to install additional font RPMs, or something else.

This is with firefox-3.0-1.fc9.i386 and pango-1.20.4-1.fc9.i386.
