Maybe I'm missing something here. My browsers don't display ASCII in
fraktur, because I have not selected a fraktur font as either the system
font or the default browser font. It seems to me that an average Japanese
user would have only Japanese fonts installed, so that all CJK would appear
in Japanese style no matter what its source. Why is there an issue?
