RE: Simplified Chinese pages (uses default font and doesn't print) --Windows

[MATTHEWS,HEATHER (HP-Vancouver,ex1)]

There are many other examples of this happening -- I don't think it has to
do with the fact that the css is named with a .html extension.  I haven't
found a gb2312 site that doesn't have this problem.  Here are some more
examples:
http://www.ibiblio.org/chinese-music/
http://www.google.com/intl/zh-CN/

In addition, there seems to be no problem when these pages are loaded in IE.
Katsuhiko, do you know who might have an interest in looking at this more
closely?

I will log a defect today.

I have not seen a stylesheet in .html file type rather than .css type.
This page defines the external stylesheet file as:

http://cn.yahoo.com/gbcss.html

This may have something to do with it.

This needs to be checked further. It may have something to do with font
settings.
