** Observed with 6/3/99 Win32 build running on Win95-J machine **
I noticed this problem on the Netscape Home Page where you see many instances of the Katakana/Hiragana
long vowel symbol (\u30FC). Instead of the usual elongated shape, I see instead what looks to be
a 90 degrees rotated version of bold right-bracket (\u3011). Two other symbols which seem to be wrong are
\u30FD and \u30FE. (If you happen to have these kinds of fonts at the top of your list, you can see its
effect by visiting the test page URL above also.)
As near as I can tell, this seems to be due to the fact that on my Win 95-J system, the top 2 fonts on the list
list are the ones from JustSystem's Ichitaro Word Processor installation, i.e. "$JS Gothic" and "$JS Mincho".
So this bug is a reminder that there needs to be a general/overall solution to font selection in drawing.

Matt said that font prefs would be completed by M9, so I'm setting this to M9.

First we will do font prefs, then we will add good defaults, which should fix
this problem. Marking M12.

Kat, could you test this with the new font prefs? Try something like the
following in your own prefs file:
user_pref("font.name.serif.ja", "MS Gothic");

We need a spec on which font names/sizes to use in the default pref.js
files to use for the various platform/locale combinations.
I assume we can reuse the defaults from 4.x. msanz?
