Comment #17 on issue 16898 by js...@chromium.org: Chinese button in gmail is too small http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=16898
In gmail, button is not an html button, but just a text element styled with a border. So, you're right that it's just ordinary text rendering issue. As for Safari and Chrome using a different font for Chinese, that depends on the UI language of Chrome. In Safari, a Japanese font is used regardless of the UI language for Chinese characters when no explicit font covering Chinese characters is specified. In Chrome, we use a SC (simplified Chinese) font (in this case, Simsun) for Chinese characters unless the UI language of Chrome is Japanese. And, I think IE does the same unless it's Japanese IE. I'm not sure what Firefox picks first when no other information is available. That is, if 'lang'/'xml:lang' is NOT specified or lang info cannot be inferred from the encoding of a page (UTF-8 is language neutral while Shift_JIS implies that the contents is in Japanese although that needs not be in all cases) or from the UI language and even the OS locale. According to what I remember from the old days, it also tries SC first before trying Japanese (and my local test indicates that's the case), but the table at http://www.w3.org/International/tests/tests-html-css/tests-fonts/results-lang-and-cjk-font says it's Japanese (and you wrote that what Chrome picks is different from what Firefox 3.5 picks). As for your point #2, I'm not entirely sure, but judging from the way my test page is rendered in IE, that seems to be the case. Anyway, that explains why it's ok in IE but not in Chrome/Firefox with the default minimum font size settings ('0'). I have no clue how Jack.lds made it work on Firefox without changing the minimum font size as Johny wrote. One more try at that. To Jack.lds: by any chance, did you set the minimum font size for 'Other languages' in the Firefox font menu? -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
