Currently, *-iso10646-1 fonts are not included in any of the font lists in the prefs panel. We need to include them.

If it's regarded as excessive to list all iso10646-1 fonts in every langauge group, 'additional style field' (which is not checked currently by Mozilla : see bug 71484) may be used to determine which subset of iso10646-1 fonts to be listed in which lang. group.
Keywords: intl
In bug 58412, Erik has a much better idea (than mine) as to how to determine which fonts (iso10646-1) to list for which lang. group. Here's what he wrote about it: > Also, we don't list iso10646-1 fonts under Baltic in the font prefs. To support > this, we would need to load one or more of the 10646 fonts to see which glyphs > they support, and if they are suitable for Baltic, add those fonts to the list. Perhaps, his idea and mine can be combined. That is, if 'additional-style' field of XLFD of a given font has explicit country/language indicator, it should be listed (without Erik's test) for the corresponding lang. group for font preference dialog box. Otherwise, a font has to pass Erik's test to be presented for a lang. group.
To see which character ranges are supported we would need to open the font and read the cmap. This takes some cpu time and we should save the result after we do it once.

what a hack. I have not touch mozilla code for 2 years. I didn't read these bugs for 2 years. And they are still there. Just close them as won't fix to clean up.
