So: the default language group is determined by the UTF locale (which incidentally also determines MozillaÂs GUI font). On Linux, the default language group determines the fonts which Mozilla tries to use (by preference) for displaying all Unicode characters. On Windows, the preferred font is determined by the code range, which seems more sensible, and in your bug report you propose to have the same mechanism on Linux also. So on Windows, there should be no difference in display between html fragments marked with or without '<span lang=ru> .... </span>' provided they are in the Cyrillic utf-8 range. Correct? Probably not :-( , because when I try it on Win98 with Mozilla 1.5, accessing a page with <span lang=ru>ÐÑÑÐÐ </span> ÐÐÑÑÐÐ, Putin is in the Cyrillic preferred font, while Yeltsin is in the Western font. Exactly the same as in Linux. So I _still_ donÂt understand it (including your bug report). Apologies in advance if I have overlooked something obvious..
