357555 - [cairo] Incorrect font usage/font-substitution for Japanese text

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[philippe (part-time)]

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20061020 Minefield/3.0a1 ID:2006102016 [cairo]

Japanese text on pages that don't specify a font-family is displayed badly.

See Yahoo Japan:
http://yahoo.co.jp/

Additionally, when the page specifies a title in Japanese, the same problem happens with the label on the tab.

Mac only apparently. Non-Cairo builds displays the pages correctly.

This regressed between 20061001 and 20061016

Attachment: basic test case

For the text under test 2, the font-family is specified in the stylesheet.

Fixing the handling of fonts in the preferences (bug 361601) will fix solve part of the problems in this bug.
Text in the _content_ part (webpages) will then display correctly.

That will not fix the _chrome_ part (test displayed on tabs).
It will not fix the same problem with xul boxes in the content part of the page: form controls (input, select, etc).

BTW, this also affects (traditional) Chinese.
