Ah, yes. I forgot that non-Win32 Nav4 did font switching. This is especially
good for UTF-8 support statistics because whenever you see browser stats, a
higher percentage of Nav4 users are non-Win32 users than in the general
market because of IE's home field advantage on Win32.
I'm assuming that "Nav4 for Win32" means all localized versions of Nav4 for
Win32.
If so, then the next question has to be, in what locales was the
non-switching font set, by default, to a font that was incapable of
rendering the language of the locale?
Japan (ja-JP) is the one that has been named explicitly. Was a Latin-1 font
made the default in every localized version of Nav4 for Win32? Is the
default Nav4 for Win32 incapable of rendering the (UTF-8 encoded) locale
language in all non-Latin-1-using locales?
