Description Darin Adler 2001-09-10 01:03:32 UTC 
This is the underlying problem from bug 47138. See that bug for details.

The key is that the Japanese fonts don't have glyphs for the non-ASCII Latin-1
characters.

One idea is to fall back either to other characters or other fonts.

I think its a good idea to use alternate characters or fonts.

For alternate characters, we could replace an 'é' with an 'e'.

We could build such a table of replacement characters from 'man iso_8859_1'

Im not sure how the alternate font approach would work.  I know that Mozilla
does a better job of character replacement thant Netscape 4.x.  That is why in
4.x you see so many '?'s.  Maybe we could look in Mozilla for ideas ?

I wonder if this is still an issue now we have fontconfig/pango??
Comment 4 Murray Cumming 2003-07-28 13:45:47 UTC 
We should close this if nobody says that it's still a problem.
Comment 5 Kjartan Maraas 2003-10-27 23:41:34 UTC 
Doing that.
