I've read Bug #587319 and there is a misleading thing: zh_CN has ，。、at the left lower corner and zh_TW has them in the middle. I am not sure which is chosen for ja, but zh_CN users really feel uncomfortable when they see ，。、are in the middle. As for LaTeX problem in #593916 I think I am not able to help since I don't know about LaTeX. -- Regards, Aron Xu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
