It is possible to use multiple languages in the same application?
I would like to display Chinese and Japanese text at the same time.
If I move Japanese to the top of the list in the language
preferences, Japanese text comes out perfectly, but Chinese looks
weird. It uses a different font for characters that are not present
in the default Japanese font. If I move Chinese to the top, the
Chinese text comes out perfectly, but Japanese text in a Chinese font
doesn't look right. (The "kai" fonts in particular look very non-
Japanese).
I am guessing there are similar issues with Chinese characters in
Korean and Vietnamese text.
Is there some way to tell AppKit the language of text, besides the
global setting in system preferences?
I have the same problem with Web Kit. It ignores the HTML lang
attribute and uses the global language setting. Compare http://
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification in Safari and Firefox.
