--- Comment #3 from Matthew Francis <[email protected]> ---
One further point:
For CJK languages (and possibly CTL languages? although this is beyond my ken),
font and language are intimately tied together. For instance, although you can
render Japanese in a font optimised for Chinese and vice versa, the result will
likely be somewhere on a scale of "just OK" to "looks completely wrong".

If I am writing a document with the default Asian language set to "Japanese",
but need to include some text in "Chinese (simplified)", I might for instance
set the font for that text to "Hiragino Sans GB" (which is optimised for
Chinese (simplified)) and the text language to "Chinese (simplified)".

If I then insert a table at that point, inside the table cells I get the
combination of the font "Hiragino Sans GB" and the text language "Japanese",
which is nonsensical. Although Writer has gone to the trouble of continuing the
font of the previous paragraph, the result doesn't make sense unless the
language of the previous paragraph is also copied in together with the font.
