please add these lines to defaults/pref/unix.js ---- pref("font.name.serif.th", "monotype-angsana-tis620-0"); pref("font.name.sans-serif.th", "monotype-cordia-tis620-0"); pref("font.name.monospace.th", "logic-gothic-tis620-0"); pref("font.size.variable.th", 16); pref("font.size.fixed.th", 12); ----

Easy enough to do, but not up to me to decide whether it is a desirable addition. ->Intl.

Code issue, QA to yokoyama@netscape.com for now.

Can anyone provide a patch, please (or would that be my job :) ?

it's unbelievable that this easy bug has been left often more than a year.

Comment on attachment 138255 [details] [diff] [review] patch asking for r/sr. min font size spec. for Thai is in the tree. so that I don't have to patch it.

those fonts in the patch were tested against Solaris 8, never tested against Solaris 9, Solaris 10 or Linux. monospace: logic-gothic-tis620-0 is available on Solaris only, and is a bitmap font. Lucida TypeWriter may be more suitable (was not available at the time of proposing patch) - available in at least 4 platforms (Sol,Lin,Win,Mac / comes with Sun JVM) - scalable font

Comment on attachment 138255 [details] [diff] [review] patch rs=me, and you can use my rubberstamp for similar such changes in the future. /be

Thanks, brendan, for rs. There's a problem, though. I'm afraid I was too hasty to ask for review. I didn't notice that fonts in the patch may not be available widely. It seems like 'monotype' fonts are default on Solaris for Thai, but may not be available for Linux users (or other Unix users). It should not be a big deal in practice, but I'm still a bit uncomfortable specifying fonts not in the 'public domain' as the default. In case of other langGroups, we're rather conservative in font selection. For instance, CJK fonts specified in unix.js are those included in X11R5 (yes, more than a decade ago) although there are a lot better fonts available. There are a few Thai experts on CC. What do you think?

jshin: IMHO it is better to implement the fontlist feature as soon as possible... then we can fill the prefs with defaults for all platforms and Mozilla will pickup the right one without problems...

BugAThon Thailand from Bug 284265, we settled with this: Windows: serif: Tahoma sans-serif: Tahoma monospace: Tahoma Linux: serif: serif sans-serif: sans-serif monospace: monospace Mac OS X: serif: Thonburi sans-serif: Thonburi monospace: Ayuthaya ---- notes: in Linux, we use font aliases. for Thonburi problem on Mac OS X, we decide to file it to Apple.

Default font for Thai should be "sans-serif" pref("font.default.th", "sans-serif"); although not quite precise, we will close this bug as duplicate of Bug 284265, which covers settings on all platform (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc.). all other additional comments (e.g. on size, minimum-size for each platform) should be done there.
