Comment 27 for bug 1425387

In the end it would be best to spend the time to fix this properly so that we don't need to have language specific code. Pango should be able to do the right thing for any language.

For the short term, I think we can land poju's patch.

On a longer term we should either implement David's idea of using logical clusters or ask that Pango provide line by line layout of wrapped text (Pango can already handle fixed width wrapped text layout).

The Text and Font dialog uses Pango directly without clumping characters into separate blocks so the rendering in the dialog should be correct (or it's a Pango bug).
