WORKSFORME.  Please check if you see your page shown unreadable.
(www.netscape.com/ja should display non-japanese if your system
doesn't have japanese font)

[Roy Yokoyama]

/r=yokoyama.
Patch confirmed. Update us.jar file with new region.properties file.

Comment 11

[Jaime Rodriguez, Jr.]

I doubt that we have a patch for this, as Teruko's bug says that the feature
doesn't not work as spec'd. We either have to change the spec, or fix the UE
(i.e. Tester is looking for Dialogue box, not a browser window).

Roy and I just tried the build with the property file on a system w/o korean 
fonts. It works for browser, but not for mail. For example, if you have a korean 
mail in your mailbox, when mail window comes up, it doesn't pop up the font 
download dialog window. And after it fails to pop up, and then you switch to 
browser to view a korean page, it doesn't pop up for browser either.

BTW, it should come up once you open the mail folder before you actually select 
the mail, since the thread pane already shows the subject of the korean mail.

ji: can you create a new bug with regard to mail and cc me and nhotta?

Quick note for dev:
While debuging the mail problem, the display mLanguage in nsTextFrame is
"x-western" despite the fact that the MIME content type is "euc-kr".

1. the specification say nothing about mail. so it should not consider a bug.
(Do we want to ask user download a font while they got spam mail by those 
Chinese web sites?)
2. What is the signification between the current implementation (with the 
property file fix) and a dialog box? 

Change to a dialog box require a lot of rewrite in the cpp code. I am against to 
spend time there. jaimejr- have you seen how it work on today's mozilla build?
