Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Paul]

Received a bug report from a user:

I'm a Japanese BeOS user and using Haru fonts.
On BeOS, I can NOT select "Fixed font" with font preferences.
and so Bezilla don't show Japanese character on some widgets.

A patch was given by the user.  I don't see any problems with it.  Sergei, could
you review this please, and see if it causes problems with your build or
visiting Russian sites?  Thanks.

Patch to follow.

I know about this problem, this applies to text and list fields.
I forgot (heard about it in recent linuxdev discussions) that there is problem
to find out CJK fonts which reports itself as fixed (Eberhard Hafermaltz
recently found Haru Monospaced and Haru Fixed and sharing it on BeShare, though).
Patch is correct, inspite in my code i had those two cases before "default:" 
without "break;" statement.

So

according to smontagu, problems appears also in Linux - it takes western font
settings for utf-8 pages instead Unicode font settings.
I think this issue is common for all unices
