It works fine on my machine with SunIndic truetype fonts installed. The string there is rendered exactly like the image below. > [Apart from the obvious Mozilla bugs, there is a change in behaviour. > The old build showed in Edit/preferences/appearance/fonts actual font > names, the new build shows font family names.

As I explained at least two times on this list, there are two flavors of Mozilla-builds, X11core build and Xft (client-side font) build. The latter does NOT use 20-year old (broken) XLFD based font selection scheme any more. The font selection in Xft build works more like that on Windows and MacOS (and more in line with CSS). You don't think end-users have to care for seeing all those (cryptic to them) 'iso8859-1', 'iso10646-1', 'jis0208.1980-0' and things like that, do you?
