Description Yair Rand 2013-01-21 07:39:12 UTC
On category pages, below the top header and above the list of pages in the category, there is an h2 tag containing the text "Pages in category "(page's title)"". The page title used is not the text given through DISPLAYTITLE. This can be a problem on pages like [[wiktionary:Category:Burmese words suffixed with -မား]], where DISPLAYTITLE is used to apply a lang= to the Burmese text in the title, allowing WebFonts to add the correct font, but on the lower line, containing the text "Pages in category "Burmese words suffixed with -မား"", the Burmese text shows up as meaningless boxes for users without the right fonts installed, because the DISPLAYTITLE was not able to affect its content.

Not sure if I understand the bug description correctly. 
Outcome in Opera 12.02 is that "Pages in category "Burmese words suffixed with -မား"" looks correct while the "Category:" looks wrong.

Hmm, I kind of have a mixed opinion about this bug.
*On one hand from a practical point of view you guys obviously just need this to work and this is the obvious thing to do to make it work
*OTOH. DISPLAYTITLE changes the title of the page, however it doesn't change the "name" of the category. To categorize something you have to use the actual name of the category. This doesn't make much of a difference on Wikimedia's set up due to display title restrictions (ignoring lang converter), but if unrestricted display title was enabled, then the displaytitle need not having anything to do with the actual category name.

It depends on the fonts you have installed. For me the page title looks correct, and the subheader is a bunch of missing glyph characters. However your screen shot looks rather wrong (Are those unattached combining glyphs jammed in the middle?). But I think that's unrelated, and should maybe be filed as a separate bug for web fonts on opera. [attached is a screenshot for firefox 16.0.1]
