33403 - Charset related defaults need to be set for JA build

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization: Localization, defect, P3)

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 3/23/2000 Win32 build **

The charset and charset menu defaults are currently using the ones for the US build. These should be changed
to reflect the localization. Here's what we should set:

pref("intl.charset_menu.static","iso-2022-jp, shift_jis,euc-jp,iso-8859-1");
pref("intl.charset.detector","japsm");

There is one other item, of which I'm not sure.
Cata, should there be any setting for this? if so, what value?

pref("intl.charset_menu.cache", "");

The first 2 are definitely needed for jabeta1.
The 3rd, we will wait for an answer from cata.

A couple of things about the charset menu defaults.

1.  I'm recommding setting defaults for both Auo-detection and JA charsets. If the auto-detection is on, the 3 
     menus are not needed, but I think we should have them in case the user turns off auto-detection.
2. I'm including iso-8859-1 because that would be one other charset people might be using.

Needed for beta 1.

Note that charset names are case-sensitive and must be in lowercase.

Fergus, I reassign the bug to you. Please talk to Kat regarding the Prefs 
update. 

Comment 5

[Fergus Sullivan]

We're excluding UTF-8 here, right?

Comment 6

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

Yes, you're right.  There will be no UTF-8 on the static menu.

Comment 7

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

Unlike the charset names to be used for conversion, the names used for menu seem to be
case-sensitive. So, please use exact values I suggested above.
