CSS3 defines a unicode-range descriptor in the @font-face rule. Is this supported in Firefox 8, or is it planned?

Yes, it doesn't seem to working as of now, so you have to wait until the bug gets fixed.

I haven't played with it thoroughly but it's not working for me (@font-face just uses the last rule without discriminating based on the code point). The bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475891 implies it's not done yet.

Further details: Testing with Firefox 8.0, this shows Arial for all glyphs:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

  <head>

    <title></title>

  <style>

   body{

    font-family: myfont;

   }

   @font-face {

    font-family: myfont;

    src: local(Georgia);

   }

   @font-face {

    font-family: myfont;

    src: local(Arial);

    unicode-range: U+A5; /* single glyphs */

   }

  </style>

  </head>

  <body>

  This Is A Test

  </body>

</html>


So it's not working. The test you linked to above fails with "ok is not defined"

Hopefully it will be done in Firefox 9

For the @Font-Face it would be nice if FireFox could support Classical Mongolian Script which is TTB-LTR

verticle-direction: ltr-ttb; unicode-range: U+1800–18AF;

Load this page with FireFox and IE http://www.babelstone.co.uk/test/Mongolian.html

Cyrillic is the language imposed by the Soviets on Northern Mongolia (2+ million people). Southern Mongolians (6 million) can not read Cyrillic. Their common language is Classical Script. It would mean a great deal to these people and to Mongolians around the world, if they could access information in their own language.

This presents another problem - How to identify the 3 alphabets in use in Mongolia - Cyrillic, Latin and Classical Script mn-MN is the Cyrillic designation.
