For CJK text, language markup should always be added. Personally i always thing fonts should be specified. If your main audience is in-country, you should use fonts available on localised versions of windows, and only use the fonts on English windows as a last resort fallback when specifying fonts. -- Andrew Cunningham Senior Project Manager, Research and Development Vicnet State Library of Victoria Australia [email protected] [email protected] ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
