--- Comment #6 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #3) > This: "the document author doesn't care which CTL fonts the person opening > the document uses for adding content" is ... shocking ;) It may shock you, but it's true. > The author creates content *and styles*. Content and styles that don't involve CJK, because the author has configured their app to disable CJK support.

They won't create a mess. Whenever some collaborator adds CJK content, they will need to declare/specify fonts for that language group. While collaborators don't use CJK either, that remains unnecessary. And - it is not a problem if a collaborator declares the CJK fonts, and the author sees the CJK fonts which the collaborator set, e.g. using their system's default, rather than the original author's system default - because it's the collaborator who introduced CJK. > Any change from some *fixed default* must be explicit. We are arguing about whether there should be a fixed default. Even without a fixed default, of course any divergence from the absence of CJK should be explicit w.r.t. styling. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
