indic language in some places (for example the second word in the wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_language) does not render correctly in any skin when i'm logged in. on the same page, other words in indic scripts do render correctly (like the links to other wikipedias) strangely, the same thing renders correctly when you are logged out, irrespective of skin (i checked others using ?useskin=)
by the way, i'm using firefox 2.0 on a windows xp machine and accessing the net through a Squid proxy server.
Can you provide screenshots (logged out/in) please? At least I am not familiar with the indic language to see what is broken. Thank you.

I cannot confirm the problem on my PC (WinXP with FF 2.0.0.3). The generated HTML sourcecode is the same for logged in/out users: (<a href="/wiki/Tamil_language" title="Tamil language">Tamil</a>: <span xml:lang="ta" lang="ta">கோயம்பத்தூர்</span>)
I have tested also, cannot confirm the problem on my PC (IE7 on WinXP and FF 2.0.0.3 on WinXP). The text rendered are the same.
I have also tested in the Linux platform (using Firefox 2.0.0.3 on Fedora 6), and the text rendered are the same. Please check that you have updated with latest updates for the software, especially the font and xorg updates.
Since there's no someone else have the same problem that reproduced using different environment and settings, I have marked as WORKSFORME for this, please reopen this bug when the same problem exists in different environments.
The HTML is identical, so it could be an issue with the HTTP headers (perhaps Content-Encoding?) being modified by the proxy server. I was not able to check what headers reach me when I'm logged in. The proxy server on my network is squid/2.6.STABLE5. I don't have access to the configuration, sorry. Could you please check if MediaWiki is sending the same HTTP headers when the user is logged in?
