I tested a web seite on a german setup and it seems that all common browsers (I checked firefox and chromium) consider the value of the LANG variable. So on all of my setups, "DejaVu Sans" is choosen for "MS Sans Serif" on web sites - with or without a 'lang="de"' tag.
But the real strange thing is: Even if I choose "Loma" on a web site or in e.g. "Openoffice.org writer" umlauts are displayed correctly. But if I choose "Loma" in Winforms/Mono applications, umlauts are replaced with boxes. So there seems to be a problem with playing Winforms/Mono and Loma together. But: This twist is a valid workaround on all of my systems. I attach a sample program "UmlautsTest.cs" and a simple web-page "test.html" where you can confirm what I see here. ** Attachment added: "A sample Mono application showing the problem" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51321984/UmlautsTest.cs -- Microsoft Sans Serif maps to Thai font even on european setups https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539008 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
