I tested this page in 4-8-10 Win32 and Mac build. Chinese characters are displayed fine in MAC build. In Win32 build, the last of 4 Chinese characters is not displayed correctly. I will reopen this and changed the platform to PC.

I reassing this bug to Erik.

some Chinese glyph is missing. i think this is because the font we used to render CJK Ideographs does not contains all the CJK ideographs glyph. change the target to M5 and clear the duplicate

I tried this on US-NT4 running 4/13 build. The forms widgets do not display Chinese, but the non-form text next to the check box and radio buttons render correctly. Looks like a forms widget problem.

Chris, I think the problem here might be that we are using the native widgets (from the OS) for HTML forms. Are there any plans to switch to GFX-based widgets for forms? Our GFX can handle Unicode, but native widgets often cannot.
Teruko, Does this happen with any non-Latin1 pages? If so, please change the summary.
Teruko, Are the non-Latin1 display in form widgets problem only on Windows?
Moving to M6 and reassigning to Pierre who is taking over gfx form controls execept buttons (owned by Eric Vaughan). GFX form controls can be toggled in viewer and apprunner. They are not bug free. Text fields and text areas will not be gfx based until Ender is hooked up.

i18n issue: reassigned to ftang
Franck, could you check whether this happens with the GFX form controls? If only the native controls show the problem, we can close the bug as Invalid or WontFix, unless you know how to display Chinese characters inside native Mac controls. Thanks!

I think the first thing we need to know is do we plan to switch OFF the native widgets to GFX based and when ? 1. <INPUT type=button> -> Swtich to GFX base? When (M?) 2. single <SELECT> / <OPTION> -> Swtich to GFX base? When (M?) 3. multipel <SELECT> / <OPTION> -> Swtich to GFX base? When (M?) 4. <INPUT type=text> -> Swtich to ENDER? When (M?) 5. <TEXTAREA> -> Swtich to ENDER? When (M?) 6. <INPUT type=file> -> Swtich to GFX base? When (M?) 7. <INPUT type=readonly> -> Swtich to GFX base? When (M?) 6. <INPUT type=reset> -> Swtich to GFX base? When (M?) 7. <INPUT type=submit> -> Swtich to GFX base? When (M?) If you plan to switch all of them to the GFX based control, then the bug will be fixed the date you switch to the GFX/ENDER one. Otherwise, you should find a way to render Unicode in those widget. (for example, draw the button by yourself. Write a MDEF/LDEF as I did in 3.0). Yes, it is a lot of work, that is why I suggest (to rods) we switch to the GFX based control last Oct. reassign this back to pierre since pierre hold the decision of switching to GFX based control

Per discussion with ftang, I confirm that native widgets will not support asian character sets. There is no defined date yet as to when we will switch to gfx widgets. Please note that it's a global switch: we can't have some form controls displayed as native widgets and other ones as gfx widgets. Gfx widgets can be tested (for what it's worth in their current form) with Viewer: - launch Viewer - under the Debug menu, select "GFX Widgets Mode" - quit the app - launch the app again

Moving to M15 all the bugs that have a dependancy on GFX widgets and/or Ender.

I tried this with 1999-06-08-08-M7 on Win95. I enabled GFX forms widgets (except for text and textarea) by setting the pref: user_pref("nglayout.widget.mode", 2); Except for the text and textareas, all other widgets seem to display Chinese correctly: input types: button, checkbox, radio, reset, submit select
Should this be moved back to M10, since buster plans to change the text widgets to default to GFX in early M10?

Reassigned to buster who owns gfx text widgets (the other widgets work fine).
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Target Milestone: M15 → M10
set to M10. When gfx text controls are turned on, this will be fixed. somebody in I18N could test this by manually turning gfx text controls if they wanted to.
moved to M11
I tested this in 9-10 Win32, Mac, and Linux builds. This page is displayed correctly in Win32 and Linux build without turning on the GFX wiget in pref.js.
