Bug 1648085 - Create family entries for any localized font-family names exposed by fontconfig. r=jwatt
47 bytes, text/x-phabricator-request
Details | Review

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0

Steps to reproduce:

I have this in my fontconfig setting to replace Simsun with 文泉驿正黑 (before bug 1573135 I only did this with small font size because large text in Simsun looks OK).

<match target="pattern">
<test name="family">
<string>Simsun</string>
</test>
<edit binding="strong" mode="prepend" name="family">
<string>文泉驿正黑</string>
</edit>
</match>

Open a traditional Chinese site made for the Windows XP era, e.g. https://tech.sina.com.cn/roll/2020-01-13/doc-iihnzahk3837265.shtml

Actual results:

Simsun is used.

Expected results:

文泉驿正黑 should be used.

Ah, I see what's happening here. Your fontconfig substitution rule uses the Chinese font name "文泉驿正黑", but with the shared font list enabled, we only recognize it by its English name "WenQuanYi Zen Hei".

We need to ensure we pick up the proper localized name from fontconfig as well as the English one.
