696643 - merge Latin varieties into one

Status: NEW

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Amir Aharoni]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0a2) Gecko/20111021 Firefox/9.0a2
Build ID: 20111021043849

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to choose a different font for the Latin script.


Actual results:

The font selection dialog offers to define fonts for several Latin-based languages: Baltic, Central European and Western European, but not Latin.


Expected results:

There should have been only one entry - "Latin". The separation was useful back in the days when Unicode and complete fonts were rare. Nowadays common Latin fonts support all varieties of the Latin script and the separation of Latin into Baltic, Central European and Western European is not needed anymore.

This sounds like an example of what I filed bug 556237 to address; see the original comment there for more details.
