User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 When the Language preference in the "International" settings pref pane of Mac OS X is set to have Japanese as the primary language, The entire UI of Firefox except for the menubar is displayed in the "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3" Japanese font, where it should be displayed in the "Lucida Grande" font. In Mac OS X, when the primary language is set to Japanese, the UI is to be displayed in a mixture of Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3 and Lucida Grande. Hiragino being displayed for Japanese double-byte text, and Lucida Grande for single-byte English text. This places all the text (URL field, Search field, Bookmarks bar, tooltips, preference sheet, contextual menus, basically everything which relies on XUL) slightly off than it should be. It also makes buttons awkwardly large with the text, again, placed slightly above where it should be. While not unusable, this gives Firefox a significantly unpolished look, as all other applications running in Japanese Mac OS X is displayed in the Hiragino/Lucida Grande mixture, as stated earlier. Usually, Mac OS X running in Japanese seems to work in the following way: When the font is set to Lucida Grande and the system encounters Japanese text, it automatically substitues the missing characters from those taken from Hiragino Kaku Gothic W3. (For this reason, the default browser display font in Safari is set to Lucida Grande even when the OS primary language is set to Japanese.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open System Preferences. 2. Open "International" Preferences pane. 3. In the "Language" tab, add the Japanese language to the language list and drag it to the top of the list. 4. Log out and log in. 5. Start Firefox. Actual Results: English text in the user interface, except for the menubar, are displayed in Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3. Expected Results: The UI English text should have been displayed in Lucida Grande, with only the Japanese text showing as Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3. In Mac OS X, when the primary language is set to Japanese, the UI is to be displayed in a mixture of Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3 and Lucida Grande. Hiragino being displayed for Japanese double-byte text, and Lucida Grande for single-byte English text. When the Language preference in the "International" settings pref pane of Mac OS X is set to have Japanese as the primary language, The entire UI of Firefox except for the menubar is displayed in the "Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3" Japanese font, where it should be displayed in the "Lucida Grande" font. This places all the text (URL field, Search field, Bookmarks bar, tooltips, preference sheet, contextual menus, basically everything which relies on XUL) slightly off than it should be. It also makes buttons awkwardly large with the text, again, placed slightly above where it should be. As the font size for the URL field has been enlarged by 1-2 dots, the favicon is enlarged as well, resulting in an ugly look. While not unusable, this gives Firefox a significantly unpolished non-native look, as all other applications running in Japanese Mac OS X is displayed in the Hiragino/Lucida Grande mixture, as stated earlier.

This is not Firefox only. Workaround: use userChrome.css as follows. * { font-family: 'Lucida Grande'; } Anyway CSS system fonts are displayed with Hiragino fonts on Mozilla in Japanese locale. Seems like the followings are Mac OS X system fonts according to TinkerTool v.3.21. http://www.bresink.com/osx/TinkerTool.html System: LucidaGrande, 13 pt System (headlines): LucidaGrande-Bold, 13 pt Application: Helvetica, 12 pt Fixed-pitch: Monaco, 10 pt Messages: LucidaGrande, 13 pt Labels: LucidaGrande, 10 pt Help tags: LucidaGrande, 11 pt Window title bars: LucidaGrande, 13 pt Utility Window title bars: LucidaGrande, 10 pt dup of Bug 33312? related to Bug 109176 and Bug 210167 (and Bug 233782). -> browser

Although it is a trifling problem, I have reported the problem to which appearance becomes somewhat bad by the bookmark tool bar of Firefox.(bug 233752) bug233752 will be set to duplicate if the cause is the same.
