Which is difficult. What's the default language of e.g. Tahoma, that
support all of Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic, Hebrew and maybe 3 or 4
others?
Lars! Never have I mentioned something about a default language. I mentioned
that if the font supports only one language then its characters should be
displayed. I also mentioned that in the case of fonts which supports many
languages the user _should_ specify the language on which he want to see the
sample. Or else why do we need that sample text? Only for English? Is it
fair?
This is the reason why we didn't go that way. If you select
arabic in the
font dialog, and you will get the arabic sample chars and only see the
fonts supporting arabic in the family list.
May be I am misunderstanding your point. But I don't think there is any
problem. Every one who used M$ Word and
OpenOffice.org got used to see the
sample text in his language.

It probably should, you're right.
Good!
