After a new install the Advanced fonts for Cursive and Fantasy are respectively
(Apple Chancery) and (Gadget) which are both missing.
May be that choosing 2 other fonts that are installed by default with OS X would
be better.
That will not yet solve all cases, I suppose it's possible to use as an
"emergency" the font one that must be present if OS X is running.
And add a small explanation at the bottom to tell what's going on.
Eg: "If a font is missing, current_system_font_name will be used."

It's strange, but both of those fonts are installed in the Classic environment.
They're no longer available to folks like us who have abandoned OS 9. I hope
this was an oversight on Apple's part, as some of those fonts are pretty good.
It's a pity to have to install Classic just to obtain those fonts.
FWIW, I think the font defaults for regions other than Western need a serious
fixing too. This stuff should work properly out of the box, but so far, I
haven't found a single browser that doesn't need reconfiguration. I guess some
folks just don't care about multi-region support.

What should the defaults be? I have classic installed so I don't know what fonts
you guys are missing. Also please Mark please suggest defaults for non-Western
fonts if you think it needs improving...

Proposed defaults and a list of fonts included in a full installation of OS X
10.2 US.

Regarding my previous comment, comment 1, does anyone have a handle on someone
inside Apple that can verify whether or not they're purposely killing the likes
of Apple Chancery and Gadget? I believe even the system-supplied IE is
initially configured to use these; I hope that their being missing in OS X is an
oversight. There are fonts that can be used as substitutes but none are as
appropriate.
Regarding comment 2, my suggestions for defaults and a list of the filenames in
/System/Library/Fonts and /Library/Fonts are included as attachment 108609 [details].
Regarding comment 3, Stéphane, if you're using a clean 10.2 French and those are
the names of the fonts on your system, then this is going to become a larger
problem. In a clean install of 10.2 US, the CE fonts are gone (merged into the
Unicode variants) and the names like Latinskij have long since been changed to
*-CY. If the font names aren't consistent across locales, then Apple has
created a problem that shouldn't exist.

Mark comment 5:
I have the same fonts in /System/Library/Fonts/ and /Library/Fonts/
than yours on a new installation of OS X 10.2, including all updates available.
During the installation I choose Personalize to Add additional fonts for
traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese and support for French, Nederlands
and Chinese languages.
It seems there is also 12 Lucida*.ttf font in
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Home/lib/fonts/
Do a Finder Cmd-F(ind) .ttf on all disks.
That's all I got.

FYI:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/monafont/
Mona Font is a Japanese proportional font which allows you to view Japanese text
arts correctly.

Note that this will need to be fixed here:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/sou​rce/modules/libpref/src/init/all.j​s#1140
It is for all Mac products, not just Camino. However, please don't reassign this
bug away from Camino since we are more likely to do something about it than any
othe product, and it is nice to have it on our 0.9 radar.
Suggestion for Arabic defaults
(Camino currently sets these to old OS 9 fonts that don't resolve correctly even
if present)
These "Western" font categories don't fit very well with a script language, so
I'm presenting "best guesses" based on available default OS X fonts, Safari's
default for the given category where discernable, etc.
Serif: Geeza Pro (Safari default, Apple's premier Arabic font AFAIK)
Monospace: Baghdad (Safari default)
Sans Serif: Al Bayan
Cursive: DecoType Naskh
Fantasy: KufiStandardGK
I willingly and happily defer to any native speaker, though :)
Oops, maybe I got confused (localizations vs locales vs encodings?) and posted
in the wrong bug--or is this a duplicate of bug 159809 (or vice versa)?
Apologies for working in Bugzilla while very tired :(

I see the patch has fixed the Western and Unicode "fantasy" fonts to be Lucida
Grande. Apple uses Papyrus in Safari, which looks a little more "fantastic"
than plain old Lucida Grande :-) Papyrus also appears in the list of fonts on a
default 10.2 (attachment 108609 [details]), so it might be a better option if this gets
looked at again?
The other locales/regions are not likely to get fixed on this bug since it's now
been marked "resolved fixed," correct, so I should add any future comments about
Arabic defaults, etc., to bug 159809 instead?
