But it is "particular" to WebKit (on iOS and OSX, due to CoreText), which Firefox has nothing to do with.

We do use Core Text in Firefox on OS X, although not for all parts of text layout/rendering nowadays, AIUI. We're using Harfbuzz for some text shaping, so it's possible we're not using the particular Core Text APIs that hit this bug.

Read the first comment; since when was curl a WebKit tool?

> This isn't a bug inside WebKit. It's a bug inside Apples CoreText font rendering framework.
