Hello!

The Lao greetings are incorrectly rendered:

The font used is:

xft:-unknown-DejaVu Sans Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-14-*-*-*-m-0- iso10646-1 (#x468)

Similar effects happen with:

xft:-unknown-Code2000-normal-normal-normal-*-17-*-*-*-*-0- iso10646-1 (#xA30)

When I go forward or backward with the cursor keys in the greetings (also in the header) the direction of cursor movement is reversed at two or three spots. When I try to select them to be able to copy them they disappear.

In GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin9.8.0, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
