According to Anthony's statement, flashplayer uses fc-match to query the Bitstream font. As the fontconfig files provided by language-selector *are* used by fontconfig, I guess the bug is that flashplayer queries for Bitstream and not for "sans", which should provide the appropriate CJK font, depending on your fontconfig settings. But I could be wrong with this and the bug is actually somewhere else... I will investigate this issue further... please give me some time, as I'm flooded with work currently. > Also, if you make this change, will Latin (like English) text be displayed by > the Chinese font?

Proper handling of CJK fonts in applications would need the text which is to be rendered to be tagged with the appropriate language tag. Then, fontconfig can provide an appropriate font to render that text. In other words, the texts would need to use some markup language (like xml) to carry the language tag, and the applications, which display such texts, would need to parse those tags and ask the rendering engine to honor the lang tag. So, IMHO all applications which handle text display, need to be fixed to support lang tags. Unfortunately this not something I can do. This issue needs to be addressed upstream for each application and library separately. -- Adobe Flash player 9 cannot display Chinese font https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207198 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
