Does Firefox do this today? - on Linux?
How about Firefox 3?

I ask this because we have a similar problem, different glyphs for cyrillic
itallic letters in macedonian/serbian vs russian/bulgarian (I don't know
for other languages).


Also, does anyone know of a tool I could use to inspect if the font has
language specific glyphs?
