21425 - need unichar versions of default char prefs too

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Hi Alec,

You added unichar versions of the char pref methods, but not the default char
pref methods. I think we need these too.

indeed you are correct.
I'll add this as part of my prefs cleanup (bug 21135)

Comment 2

Are the methods which operate on default prefs doing something which needs to be
done for B1? I'm betting not, and pushing the bug out. If I'm mistaken, please
correct the target milestone.

I think erik can answer that best.. erik, can you confirm that you don't need
this for B1?

Well, I am currently doing the UTF-8 -> Unicode conversion in my own code, so
it certainly isn't an emergency, but it would be nice if we could get the
conversion done in The Right Place, so that we don't have this extra code all
over the place. Whether this means we need to fix this for B1, I don't know.
I'll leave that decision to you.
