263062 - The armenian list-style-type tag isn't rendered as the standard implies

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 14713

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Sander van de Graaf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

In the page http://www.svdgraaf.nl/armenian.html, the armenian list-style-type
isn't rendered correctly on osx.

In this bug; https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14713 it is said that
the rendering of a question mark is correct. But in the W3 css specification
(both 2 and 2.1) it is clearly stated; A user agent that does not recognize a
numbering system should use 'decimal'.

Shouldn't the engine recognize I don't have the used font and render decimals
instead of trying to render the armenian list-style-type?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Use list-style-type: armenian; in your css
Actual Results:  
The browser rendered a question mark.

Expected Results:  
Render some decimals.

But in this case the user agent does recognize the numbering system - it just
can't display it correctly because it doesn't have an appropreate font.
Anyway, I think this should be discussed in bug 14713.

Changing Hardware/OS to All/All since I'm seeing question-marks on Win 98.

Indeed.  "recognize" in the context of CSS just means "know how to map a number
to a string"; we can do that just fine for Armenian.
