Unicode character "Line separator" (U+2028) displays as box

Reported by khym.cha...@gmail.com, Oct 5 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.143 Safari/537.36

Example URL:

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. View the attached HTML page which contains the Unicode character "Line separator" (U+2028)

What is the expected behavior?
Page is blank

What went wrong?
Page shows a dashed-outline box containing the words "L-SEP"

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? No Konqueror 4.14.22

Chrome version: 53.0.2785.143  Channel: stable
OS Version: Fedora 24
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

I can reproduce this just be copy-pasting the character into a comment field, like this: 
 
 
 (that should show three of the boxes without any line breaks).

Might be related to  bug 60452 .

Oh, the bug doesn't show under Firefox.  It correctly displays a blank page (so long as the charset is correctly set to UTF-8)

This looks fine on Windows. Wonder if it is related to some type of font on the Fedora distro?

Disabling extensions and experiments doesn't fix the problem, nor does using a fresh profile

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 using Chrome stable 53.0.2785.143 and issue is not reproduced.

Observations:
 On viewing the attached html code, blank page is displayed. ( As expected )

Attaching screenshot for reference.

Requesting MTV team to look into it.

Thank You !

I figured part of it out: I have a bunch of Microsoft Windows fonts that I use while running Linux (since I have a dual-boot machine).  If I stop using those fonts then the test file "bug.html" shows blank, but putting the character into a comment (like this: 
 
 
) still shows boxes, although they're empty boxes with solid outlines instead of "L SEP" surrounded by a dashed line.  I'll try to figure out exactly which font file is the problem.

Comment 6 by khym.cha...@gmail.com, Oct 9 2016 

The fonts that cause a problem (all from a Windows 10 Anniversary Update installation):

- Microsoft Sans Serif (micross.ttf)
- Segoe UI (segui*.ttf)
- Times New Roman (times*.ttf)

Attached is the somewhat reduced output of fc-query run on the problem files.
