252528 - No warning about missing Japanese fonts

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jesse Ruderman]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040721
Firefox/0.9.1+

When I go to http://goo.ne.jp/, Firefox doesn't warn me that I need Japanese
fonts.  IE does and at least some versions of Mozilla do.

Confirmed at http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/jwb/wwwjdic?1R -
after loading the japanese support (via internet explorer) the page displays
correctly, however, when I first went to the page (on a clean windows install
with a clean firefox 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0) install, the page displayed garbage. This
is also the case with Thunderbird 0.9.

So we should detect that we have no fonts for charset=EUC-JP and prompt the user
to download them?

This works on Mozilla, so there is code missing from Firefox...
