Can you point me to 'scriptGroup' is just a term coined by me that I believe is better than 'langGroup' because it's not languages but scripts that are relevant here. 'langGroup's in Mozilla include 'Western', 'Central European', 'Japanese', 'Cyrillic', 'Arabic', 'Hebrew', 'Tamil', 'Devanagari', and so forth (just what you see in the font-selection dialog). > 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? I tried to explain it in my long email you quoted in your previous email apparently without reading it. Maybe not very clearly, but my two emails (before your first email in this thread) answered most of your questions. > Clearly, from a user's perspective I was led to believe something > possibly quite different about these dialogs in Mozilla. What did you believe was the case? Then, I'll go from there if necessary. Jungshik -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
