169211 - wrong 'styl' is created for non ASCII scripts if that is different from the system default language

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[nhottanscp]

Separated from bug 168041.

Using MacOS X, set default language to Japanese.
Goto http://www.netscape.fr/
Copy non Ascii characters and show the clipboard contents in Finder (edit/show
clipboard).
Non Ascii characters are not shown correctly (shown as unrelated Japanese
characters).

The result is different based on the keyboard script when the copy is done. If
the keyscript is English then the problem happens but when the keyscript is
Japanese then the non ASCII characters are copied correctly.

Attachment: Remove keyboard script substitution because it has a conflict with native converter's substitution.

The keyboard substituion is implemented for Mac only. After we use the native
converter to do the substitution, this part is not needed.

This kPlatformCharsetSel_KeyboardInput:
 is mac only. If we don't forsee any future usage of this charset, we probably
should remove it. Other than that, r=shanjian.

I don't have an actual example. But I think it is okay to keep it for now, it
might be useful in future.
