34969 - KO font sel: Johab* fonts take precedence over user-specified ones

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Jungshik Shin]

Even though I have the following specifications for fonts to use
rendering Korean text, Mozilla uses fonts with '-johab*' encoding
in seemingly random places.

user_pref("font.name.monospace.ko", "hymjsm2");
user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.ko", "hymjsm2");
user_pref("font.name.serif.ko", "hymjsm2");

On my Linux box, I have both hymjsm2 fonts with KSC5601 GL encoding
and a set of fonts with '-johab*' encoding in addition to other
fonts with KSC 5601 GL encoding. hymjsm2 comes in 6 different sizes
while '-johab*' comes in only 16pixel/point. Despite that hymjsm2
specified in prefs.js has more appropriate matching size, Mozilla
resizes '-johab*' fonts to lead to very ugly rendering result.

  It can be reproduced by viewing any Korean web pages under
Linux/Unix with both '-johab*' fonts and KSC 5601 GL encoded fonts
installed. This bug is present in M15 nightly build and
Netscape 6.0pre1.

erik- how do we handle the case of Japanese font selection ? We need to select a 
JIS x0201 one JIS x0208 and one JIS x0212 font right? It is similar case for 
Korena which the user may want to select a KSC 5601 font and also a JOHAB font.

I'm working on features for M16. I hope to find time to look into this bug for
M17.

I believe I fixed this bug before the M16 deadline. Jungshik, would you please
verify this?

Jungshik, would you please verify this? Currently, I don't have a proper test 
environment for this in my Linux machine.

I thought I confirmed that this had been fixed by Erik in bugzilla as
well as in mozilla-i18n list/newsgroup. It turned out I haven't added
my comment here to that effect. This bug WAS fixed (unless it's been
resurrrected since :-)).
