I am pretty sure this is a webkit problem, but the IRC channel advised me
to post here.
After installing the Vera Sans YuanTi family as well as the AR PL
ShanHeiSun Uni fonts from Linux, I am unable to view Chinese in
WebPositive. I have tested both the Alpha 2 release and the r37098
nightly.
When viewing pages such as Google in Chinese (http://www.google.com.hk,
clear your cookies) all text is displayed as empty boxes. Web pages like
Baidu (http://www.baidu.com/) do not even load.
I believe this is a webkit problem because I have seen the same behavior
on Debian when it is installed in Chinese if I use the webkit test, Midori
or the webkit fork of gnome's Epiphany browser to view Chinese web pages.
In fact, I have never seen any webkit browsers other than Chrome and
Safari successfully display CJK type.
I tried setting the Haiku system and WebPositive default fonts to ones
with Chinese unicode. This allows Tracker to display Chinese filenames and
also allows Chinese support in BeZilla. For WebPositive, this fix is a
negative. :(
Would be nice to get this fixed by the time Haiku goes beta.
