Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Yuying Long]

Build: 03-11 trunk and N6.2.1 build / RH7.2

Load page: http://www-900.ibm.com/developerWorks/java/joy-i18n/index.shtml

The font in this page looks like is not using SimpChinese font(no matter what's
the locale are), the big size and small size mixed together, and for SimpChinese
only characters is displayed bigger than others - see a followed screen shot.

Windows and Mac don't have same problem.

It seems this page is not recognized as a gb2312 page although it has a charset
meta tag in it. There is no mark checked on GB2312 on the charset menu. View
page source window seems to be using gb2312 fonts.

The charset menu is marked as gb2312 for me, even I manually override charset to
gb2312 still get the same result.

I saw the charset menu problem with a brand new profile. 
Yes, manually selecting gb2312 doesn't make the page look better.

Seems there are different fonts (songTi and heiTi?) mixed together.

And in page source, all characters are using songti.

Is this a RH 7.2 special? since cannot repro it on JA RH 7.1.

The font specified by the document is helvetica, but there is no helvetica font 
for gb2312. On RH72 there is a japanese font marked as helvetica, and that makes 
the japanese font take precedence of gb2312 font. 

As suggested by CSS, we are searching for font family name first. But CSS 
specification does not give much description about the role lang group should 
play. In case of CJK, lang group might be more important than an exact match of 
font family name, as shown by this bug. Should we try other font family in the 
same lang group before we try the fonts in other lang groups?  I think this make 
sense for CJK font matching. I am sure this issue will be very debatable. So for 
now, let's blame web author for this.

here. Mark them won't fix. If you want to reopen it, find a good owner first.
