From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020214
BuildID: 20020214
The test page is rendered using MS Comic Sans on my system, instead of Times New
Roman. Also, if I start selecting text, the selection runs faster than the mouse
cursor. It feels lika I'm selecting the text rendered in Times, which is smaller
than Comic Sans, but the selection is reflected on the Comic Sans text. I don't
understand why Comic Sans is used anyway, because I have never chosen it to be
used by Mozilla, and the page doesn't specify any font to be used either.
I see this problem a lot, especially with pages I make myself. It is extremely
annoying.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the test page.
2. Look at it.
3. Try selecting some text.
Actual Results: Wrong font, Comic Sans for me but I've seen other fonts,
selection doesn't follow cursor.
Expected Results: Should be sans-serif, selection should work as expected.

The page specifies language as "se", and I don't think Mozilla understands that
specification. Other languages use the correct font.
I get courier with Linux build 20020305, and also the same thing with the
cursor. That might be another bug that is just exposed by because it got the
wrong font in the first place.
Please move this over to Internationalization (they handle font issues).

Language being "se" shouldn't make Mozilla use some weird font. It's still
charset ISO-8859-1 and Mozilla should use the default font for that encoding. It
doesn't.

absolutely! please change the component to Internationalization (and reassign
to default owner) so they can fix it.

Ok... embarassing but true. I have apparently been using "se" instead of "sv",
which is the real language code for Swedish, for quite some time. No excuse for
this bug, though, but silly me...

I can see the problem on RH7.2 / 03-06 trunk build when lang=se, but not with
lang=sv.
Conform.

From attachment 72889 [details]:
find font based on lang group, nsFontMetricsGTK.cpp 4672
lang group = , nsFontMetricsGTK.cpp 4687
^^
It appears we do not recognize the language group so we end up loading:
loaded -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--16-*-0-0-m-*-iso8859-3
which is Southern European.
In comment #3:
> It's still charset ISO-8859-1
Is this in the meta charset tag?
It seems to me that the language group is not correctly identified. This
would indicate that this is a language group identification issue not a font
issue.
(Morton/timeless: can you see the necessity of these debug statements? Without
out these we would not have any idea what is happening here.)

this is a dup of 128338. We did observe html "lang" attribute now, but we have a
problem in handling unknown language name. Those name should be default to
western language group. See bug 128338 for detail.
