110640 - Fonts of menus are enlarged in Japanese mode

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[u38342]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6+) Gecko/20011118
BuildID:    all on Linux

When "LANG=ja_JP" is set, fonts of menus are enlarged.  This happens all
versions of Mozilla on Linux regardless of the homepage you look at.  Even in
English page.  Sometimes fonts in a homepage are enlarged, which is shown in the
URL above.  I don't mean I want Japanese menus.   I just want fonts in the menus
to stay the same size.   This environment variable is necessary to enter
Japanese characters; ie when writing Japanese email, etc.
  This setting cannot be changed by "preferenece" menu.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.invoke mozilla with the environment variable LANG set to ja_JP
This is necessary to input Japanese characters, not to display Japanese characters.


Actual Results:  All fonts in menus are enlarged, and some fonts in homepages
are enlarged.

Expected Results:  Size of fonts are the same as in English mode.

This is most likely due to the following lines in unix.js:

pref("font.min-size.variable.ja", 16);
pref("font.min-size.fixed.ja", 16);

Hmmm...it didn't work for me.....

I tried once more and it partially worked; fonts in the homepage are correct,
however, fonts in the menus are a little bigger.....may need some adjustment,
but acceptable to me.
My setting is:

pref("font.size.variable.ja", 10);
pref("font.size.fixed.ja", 10);
