53288 - Japanese fonts are not used in HTML form when page charset=iso8859-1

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 73697

(Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[Masaki Katakai]

45678 is still reproducible on HTML form when page charset is
not japanese.

 1) Start Mozilla in japanese locale
 2) visit www.yahoo.com
 3) type japanese in search field

Korean fonts are used, Wrong japanese comma and fullstop are
displayed.

But it works when

 1) Start Mozilla in japanese locale
 2) visit www.yahoo.co.jp
 3) type japanese in search field

Those pages does not have charset tag so
they are considered as 8859-1 charset.

We need to decide what to do here. What if the document was Korean, and the HTML
form widgets already contained some Korean text (initialized by the Web site)?
Would we want to use Japanese fonts to display the Korean text inside the HTML
form just because the user happened to be using a Japanese locale? I don't think
so.

However, if the document is in iso-8859-1, and the locale is Japanese, then it
would be nice if Mozilla picked up Japanese fonts instead of Korean fonts for
Han characters. Accepting bug.
