All these glyphs are present in this font, so no need to look for another font to handle any of them". Gecko says "this is monospace, but what language is it? Ah, it's zh-TW/zh-Hant, so monospace means Apple LiGothic. What's that you say, FontFallback? Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN? Got it these monospace Traditional characters are now displayed in Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN". FontFallback, find me a font with this glyph. Oh, here's some Traditional characters Courier has no glyphs for them. So the different behavior in WebKit is because WebKit behaves differently: it says "All monospace is Courier. Gecko, on the other hand, sets one set of fonts per langGroup. (I say mercy because font fallback sucks WebKit ends up with Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN, a font designed for Japanese, for zh-TW/zh-Hant monospace, instead of one designed for Traditional Chinese.) > (someone had a surprise with Gecko's behaviour when viewing source on a page,Īs far as I can tell (Trac's search sucks, and there's no mxr for WebKit, but I poked around for quite a while), WebKit only sets one global set of fonts (Times, Helvetica, and Courier) and then puts you at the mercy of fallback for handling any glyphs of other scripts/languages not included in those 3 global fonts. > That is more or less what Safari does, afaict.
MINGLIU FONT FOR MAC MAC OS X
Here is the list of typefaces included with Mac OS X from Wikipedia I'll stand for the decision to correct -TW to Courier. But it's not logical to have a page rendered by MingLiU and other page represended by Courier, which have different "lang" property but had same english content, especially consider how the thin glyph of MingLiU incompatible with the default chinese font Apple LiGothic, and I cannot came into another chinese fonts, which has mono latin letters and available to most of the chinese mac users. We can choose MingLiU as default monospace chinese font, of course, only a small number of people don't have it. I'd no idea what font safari will use in such situation, I'll check it later. Most people will have MingLiU installed by MS office or copried from windows, but it's as ugly as is. Chinese fonts with mono latin characters bundled in the Mac OS X 10.4 ~ 10.6.
