115074 - Cannot select font for Fantasy in Western settings

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Alexander Skwar]

Using build 2001121303 on Windows 2000.

If I select "Western" encoding for the fonts, I'm not able to select a font for
"Fantasy".  However, if I select "Unicode" encoding, I'm able to select a
Fantasy font.

sairuh:

Alexander commented about this it in bug 108939 using build 2001120504, Windows.
I asked him to file separately.

Can it be some partial regression or leftover from bug 101510?

-> ftang a look at the fonts pref pane.

In general, we only list font in the fantasy list if the font's 
LOGFONT.lfPitchAndFamily bit 4-7 are FF_DECORATIVE. For unicode, CJK, thai, 
arabic and hebrew font. We list every font since a lot of the user will only 
have one font for those languages. 
It is by design that we don't list ANY font for western. If you really have a 
fantasy font (for example, "Matisse ITC", "Tempus Sans ITC" "Westmister", then 
they will be listed there.

this is by desing, therefore, mark it invalid.
