+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #993701 +++

As part of 973396, I'm preparing the locale-specific CSS for Simplified Chinese (zh-CN) locale. It would be nice if Hebrew localizers could complete the CSS:

@font-face {
  font-family: X-LocaleSpecific;
  font-weight: normal;
  src: /* All */
       /* OS X */
       local(FZLTXHK--GBK1-0), /* = Lantinghei SC Extralight */
       local(HiraginoSansGB-W3),
       /* Windows */
       local('Microsoft YaHei Light'),
       /* Linux */
       local(DroidSansFallbackFull)
       /* Android */
       ;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: X-LocaleSpecific;
  font-weight: bold;
  src: /* All */
       /* OS X */
       local(FZLTZHK--GBK1-0), /* = Lantinghei SC Demibold */
       local(HiraginoSansGB-W6),
       /* Windows */
       local('Microsoft YaHei Bold'),
       /* Linux */
       local(DroidSansFallbackFull)
       /* Android */
       ;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: X-LocaleSpecific-Extrabold;
  font-weight: 800;
  src: /* All */
       /* OS X */
       local(FZLTTHK--GBK1-0), /* = Lantinghei SC Heavy */
       local(HiraginoSansGB-W6),
       /* Windows */
       local('Microsoft YaHei Bold'),
       /* Linux */
       local(DroidSansFallbackFull)
       /* Android */
       ;
}

/* Bug 973171 */

* {
  font-style: normal !important;
}

Hao, can you take a look at the locale-specific CSS in my comment 0? I have chosen some as the best-looking Simplified Chinese fonts but your corrections and additions are welcome :) Thanks!

Comment 2

[Kohei Yoshino [:kohei]]

Note that we are choosing locale-specific fonts that go great with the default Open Sans font. There might be some sans serif fonts depending on your platform so please find the best-looking one.

Comment 3

[Hao Shen]

It looks very well. I endorse this selection.
