Details

STR:

1. Select a font that has different Carbon and Cocoa names (e.g., any of the Japanese fonts) using the normal UI (Cocoa font panel)

2. Observe the font is not listed as "(missing)" even though Gecko will not use that font.

Ideally, we'd want to just make the Camino UI correctly translate between the Cocoa font panel and Gecko's crazy font name needs and only use "(missing)" for fonts that are truly not found on the user's machine, but in the interim we should probably do something to indicate to the user he's selecting a font Gecko won't use.
Do we want to just punt on this, or are we planning on doing a 1.7? I assume this is fine on trunk, since it's filed against the 1.8 branch only.
Similar (but not the same) issues with the trunk should be covered by bug 391076.  It's probably not worth fixing this on the branch at this point.
