Re: Unicode fonts on Debian
I wish I understood this better!
What exactly does "langGroup" or "scriptGroup" mean in Mozilla? Can you point me to
a URL that explains exactly how Mozilla does these things, and how that might
be different from, say, the xft/fontconfig way of doing things?
Clearly, from a user's perspective I was led to believe something
possibly quite different about these dialogs in Mozilla.
Well, if a page claims to be in a specific language, it would use fonts
specified for that
language, i would imagine:
If you see "<html lang=ja>" then the page should use the font specified
by the Japanese
setting by default.
A good reason for such behavior is that some languages look best in
various different fonts.
I havent seen a single monolithic opentype font yet supporting bold,
italic, bold italic, and
alternative hanzi glyphs for various languages. (if such would even be
supported properly,
im not sure. I'd like to see it) Until then, were stuck with a mishmash
of various fonts loosely
organized around languages.
"Encoding" is fairly irrelevent to this, afaik
