Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[deadscreem]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; Windows NT 5.1; rv:2.0b2) Gecko/20100720 Firefox/4.0b2 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Bookmarks in the menu or organizer which contain japanese characters sometimes load using a bad font, Kana and kanji glyphs appear shrunken. I believe it maybe loading a Chinese font (which does not work well at small sizes)... However, moving between bookmark folders or hovering over bookmarks with the mouse cursor may cause them to switch back to the proper japanese font (one of the Gothic fonts, MS PGothic or maybe MS UI Gothic, not sure) or switch to a chinese font (SimSun?) if it's already using the chinese font.

Did not happen in 3.6.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have bookmarks which contain japanese characters
Actual Results:  
Font for japanese bookmark names randomly switch between a japanese and a chinese font

Expected Results:  
Font for japanese bookmarks should always be the default japanese font

English version of Windows, bug may or may not happen on Japanese Windows.
