28320 - Improperly displays Russian text in window's title

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[bunkin]

On _URL_ the browser windows title displays the <title> text incorrectly, 
missing some letters (big Russian R) and spaces. Even if you can't see Russian, 
you can compare page source code and the string of the title bar to see the 
difference.

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.  Russian not a beta2 
blocker.

This problem is definitely real if you do a search for Russian
(or probably any non-Roman) text using the ENGLISH browser
(Mozilla 1.0.1, Mozilla/5.0, Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.1;
Gecko/20020826) running on ENGLISH Windows 98 (SE 4.10.2222A).
Whether it "works for me" in the Russian version of Mozilla or
when running on Russian Windows 98 I can't say, since I use
the English version of the browser running on English Windows 98.
I also don't know whether this is a Mozilla bug or an OS bug.
To reproduce: Start English Windows 98 SE; launch English
Mozilla browser 1.0.1; go to the URL www.google.com;
change keyboard layout to Russian and type in some Russian text
(alternatively, copy and paste some Russian text from another
window). Russian text appears correctly in search text box and
search results correctly display Russian text. However, the
title bar displays all question marks.

In the title bar is used system font. You must set the regional settings to
Russia (in win 9x you must reinstall windows with this regional settings) to
install system fonts with russian support.

Thanks for clarifying that this is an OS issue, Eugene (Evgeny?).
The system font can also be changed using a third-party product
such as ParaWin. The problem with changing the system font is that
then other languages (Polish, Lithuanian, even German and French)
won't display properly. I now understand that this is not a Mozilla
issue. However I find this OS behavior to be extremely annoying;
to be perfectly honest, it's tacky. It's hard for me to understand
why, after all the investment in and hype about internationalization,
Unicode, etc., and with all the profit that MS has made (== money
not spent on issues like this) that there are still ASCII problems
in Window title bars. I would like to hope that hope that these
problems have been fixed in later versions of the OS.
By the way, why are bugs like this classified as "works for me"
rather than "not a bug"? Just because it's an OS issue doesn't mean
it "works"; it just means that it's not a Mozilla bug.

Yes, I'm Evgeny and I'm russian, so I 85% of my time in internet use russian
sites. :)

In w2k the problem still exists. Not sure about XP.
