New issue 7319 by [email protected]: Characters in the UI are too small in Malayalam (ml) and Bengali (bn) Chrome http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=7319 1. Launch Chrome with '--lang=ml' or '--lang=bn' after http://codereview.chromium.org/19761/show and http://codereview.chromium.org/19545 are landed. 2. Go to the wrench menu (any UI) 3. Malayalam and Bengali characters are smaller than Latin letters. They are almost illegible. Cause: MS designed Malayalam and Bengali fonts in such a way that for a given size (say, 12px), glyphs are much smaller than Latin fonts (e.g. Arial). Solutions to consider: a. For ml and bn, override what's returned by Windows API (see GetMenuFont in views/chrome_menu.cc) and use the font stored in our resource file. For other cases, we need to do something similar. b. Store the UI font size in locale-dependent resources, but this will increase the size of Latin letters as well. So, the font size discrepancy between Latin and Malyalam and Bengali would remain as it is now. c. Ignore the problem and add an entry to the FAQ with information as to how to change the UI font size across Windows. Note: Other Indian languages ( ta, te, gu, kn, mr, hi) do not have this problem. Oriya (or) has an issue of its own, which will be filed in another bug. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
