my Build ID:Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001103.
consider the 2 following similar html code...(i will also attach the file)
first one:
<head lang=zh-TW>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; char
set=Big5">
</head>
<body>
±z¦n¶Ü
</body>
</html>

and
<head lang=zh>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Big5">
</head>
<body>
±z¦n¶Ü
</body>
</html>

the first one will use the chinese fonts set in the preference...
however,the second one seem just use the default chinese fonts.
(-default-ming-*-*-*-big5-0)
looking the prefs.js...
i find the following...


user_pref("font.name.monospace.zh-TW","dynalab-mingli-big5-0");
user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.zh-TW","dynalab-mingli-big5=0");
user_pref("font.name.serif.zh-TW","dynalab-mingli-big5-0");
user_pref("font.size.fixed.zh-TW",13);
user_pref("font.size.variable.zh-TW",13);

it seem that setting the chinese fonts will just make the setting for zh-TW lang
so i add the following manually in prefs.js

user_pref("font.name.monospace.zh","dynalab-mingli-big5-0");
user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.zh","dynalab-mingli-big5=0");
user_pref("font.name.serif.zh","dynalab-mingli-big5-0");
user_pref("font.size.fixed.zh",13);
user_pref("font.size.variable.zh",13);

however,this seem don't work either...

nope, erik owns text and language issues for layout.

It seem that if the language tag is invalid....e.g "<html lang=dfkjhsdfk>"
mozilla try to use other fonts itself........:(

    
    

    
  
I believe the following may fall under this bug:

the source code for http://home.netscape.com/zh/cn is not viewing correctly. The 
chinese symbols are interspersed with ? marks.  
I'm seeing this on linux only.

This is an invalid bug. Both case by design should use the Traditoinal Chinese 
font. lang=zh in <head> do not make any difference (and should not).
Wan Hing Wah- could you explain what you want to do here ?

My computer contain 2 type of fonts ,big5 fonts,and jis fonts
(-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-jisx02081.1983-0).
Both fonts contain some Chinese font with different coding,but have overlap in
Unicode.
I have set in preference to set a font to use for Traditional Chinese,which make
an entry like
user_pref("font.name.serif.zh-TW", "default-mingli-big5-0"); in prefs.js
However,when access the sourceforge Chinese page, The html tag is specified an
lang attribute with a value
of "zh" , which seem mozilla contain invalid.
The mozilla can detect the page use big5 encoding,however,it first transfer to
Unicode and when it can't
find unicode font in the system and try to convert the unicode to a coding which
the system have that fonts.
Instead of using the big5 fonts,it choose fonts with encoding
jisx0208.1983-0.Even I try to choose
"Tradition Chinese" in View-> coding,this remain the same.

this won't be occured if the lang attribute isn't specified in html tag,or lang
attribute is specified
with a value "zh-TW".The mozilla will then use the big5 fonts.

But if jisx0208.1983-0 fonts is not found in the system,it will use the big5
fonts and work correctly
see the attachment 21499 [details],21500 for the difference

Interesting issue.... so the problem seems we pass down "zh" as the language
code down to the GFX and we cannot find a pref for zh. In that case, we probably
should find a way to fall back to listen to the charset instead. I wonder we
have a way to do that now.

bstell- please take a look at this. I don't think we should support what the
reporter origional ask for. (hook lang=zh with some new preference value). But I
think your recent work may fix his REAL problem (which cause him to try the lang=zh)
