Bug 213517 removed a bunch of x-user-def font preferences. We need to remove the UI for those preferences.

proposed patch (v1)

What if the user has set the preference to x-user-def, should we be migrating it to another value?

I guess what you could do is that if you find that the pref is not represented in the menulist then you should reset the pref to its default value. (But the pref is only used for the pref UI itself so you don't need to migrate it anywhere else.)

Yes, as Neil suggested.

I can't remember whether the menulist is already initialised when Startup runs. If it is, you can simply check its selectedItem which will be null if the preference value is absent from the list. If it isn't, then you can use getElementsByAttribute to look for a valid value.

I don't know whether you should be using fontLangGroup.valueFromPreferences = undefined; to reset the preference.

With the patch as it is you get the following in the error console:
Error: fontMenuList.getItemFromIndex is not a function
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/pref/pref-fonts.js
Line: 239

You probably meant getItemAtIndex.

When Startup runs, the menulist does not appear to be initialised so when you add a Startup function you would need to use getElementsByAttribute.

As far as I can tell Services.prefs.clearUserPref("font.language.group") and fontLanguage.valueFromPreferences = undefined do exactly the same thing.

Please use a Startup function instead as suggested by Neil.
