In that case we should accept either for fonts that have both but maybe we should have a policy about which we put into documents we export. Do you know if we correctly import docs with CJK font names now?

Yes this is something we don't currently support but I think we need to. The best way is to have somewhere default font settings for each script (not each language): roman (or western), greek, cyrillic, traditional chinese, simplified chinese, arabic, hebrew, thai, etc. Well there probably is a case for doing it on a per-language basis but that would make for a lot more options to require setting ): > Yes, there are probably too many variations, so > AbiWord will have to be > smart; and we may have to maintain a small list of > fontname data in > AbiWord too. I don't know. :-) I hope not but if it's necessary it's probably possible.
