Bookmarklet: Mozilla/Firefox unicode rendering bug

Bug #270012 is long time opening in Firefox and got bunch of duplicates. Tamil and other Indian texts are getting broken on "text-align: justify;"
Fix #270012
The above bookmarklet can be used on such broken pages to fix rendering and I've been using it for a long time. Though there is a Greasemonkey script available, I still prefer my bookmarklet as it is tidy.

It's hard to be called as open source as only few and sycophants are driving it's direction (I'm not talking about svn access) So, here are my humble checklist before you start shouting at me Did you read a...

Save Perarivalan, killer of Rajiv Gandhi (?!)

Perarivalan's MCA degree has drawn my attention on his case. I thought of digging little deeper on this. He is one of the convicted persons on Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, sentenced to death/ capital punishment . Perarivalan's Judgment Search for "Arivu" (Perarivalan's alias) on the final judgment by Supreme Court titled " State Of Tamil Nadu Through ... vs Nalini And 25 Others on 11 May, 1999 " and then compare the judgment of any acquitted person on the list.

I then searched over and found a Tamil blog dated January 7, 2007 where he explains his case as " Rejected Justice ". English version of his text/book is available in slideshow format " An Appeal from The Death Row " Possible reasons for his innocence After reading judgment file and his blog/book, it all looks like: He's a guy with D...
