Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[nhottanscp]

Default font size of Japanese mono font is 16 but this is not good for Macintosh
'Osaka'.
I will attach screen shots.

Comment 1

[nhottanscp]

Attachment: Screen shot, mono font size set to 16.

Comment 2

[nhottanscp]

Attachment: Screen shot, mono font size set to 14.

Comment 3

[nhottanscp]

I took the screen shots on MacOS 9 JA.
I think this is a localizability issue, add l12y keyword.

Comment 4

[nhottanscp]

Cc to [e-mail]. Is there a way to specify the font size for JA Mac
localized build?

Comment 5

[Frank Tang]

the font size pref is currently in all.js. Maybe we want to split them into 
platform .js ?

Comment 6

[nhottanscp]

Yes, one default size may not work well for all platforms like the casee of this
bug.

Switching QA contact to ylong.

Target to future.
Filed a bugscape 6897 for a workaround for localized JA build.

Comment 9

[nhottanscp]

Attachment: Patch, moved "font.size." prefs from all.js to platform files and changed Macintosh "font.size.fixed.ja" from 16 to 14.

I found other problem. The current default faces for Japanese, "Hon-Mincho" and 
"Maru-Gothic" are not included in MacOS 9 JA. As a result, "Osaka" 16 pt is used 
for propotional default which has the same quality problem as the mono case.
We can either change them to "Osaka" and make it 14 pt, or select actually 
existing fonts of MacOS 9.
MacOS 9 JA has, "Osaka", "ChuGothic", "HosoMincho", 
"HeiseiMincho", "HeiseiKakuGothic". I think "ChuGothic", "HosoMincho" are bitmap 
only others are TrueType.

Comment 11

[nhottanscp]

I am going to change to use "HeiseiMincho", "HeiseiKakuGothic" and the default
size to be 14.

Comment 12

[nhottanscp]

Attachment: Patch, updated macpfref.js for .ja default faces to "HeiseiMincho", "HeiseiKakuGothic" size 14.

Comment 13

[nhottanscp]

Attachment: Patch, ignore the last patch, I put broken UTF-8 strings.

Comment 18

i verified this bug on Mac trunk build 07-03-10 and with default "Osaka" font
size set to 14 the page look good

Comment 19

[nhottanscp]

Marina, please also check that default serif is set to "HeiseiMincho" and
default san-serif is set to "HeiseiKakuGothic" and the default size is 14.

Comment 20

[nhottanscp]

I checked Marina's machine. Font names are also changed and the size is 14.
So, it's working as I intended.
