Description sparcmoz 2007-06-23 00:26:28 UTC 
To reproduce:
Launch en-US build of OOo
Select Hiragana input (International - Input Menu - Kotoeri - Hiragana)
Open a new Writer document
Select a japanese font
Enter some romaji text
Font reverts to Tahoma - see screenshots attached.

To workaround this enter a few blank lines, select the range and choose the
required japanese font. Now the previous entered text displays correctly and new
text can be entered as required.

sparcmoz: Do you setup "Basic Fonts (Asian)" preference of Writer to use
Hiragino fonts?  With the setting, I don't see the font reversion with Japanese
input.  But YMMV.

Anyway, on issue #79676 I've submitted a patch to enable fallback fonts if the
glyph is not supported with a selected font.  With the patch, I think Japanese
text should be displayed correctly even the selected font is Tahoma.
Comment 7 sparcmoz 2007-07-17 10:20:50 UTC 
ekato: thank you for the explanation. This now works correctly for me.

There is no Basic Fonts (Asian) in a new installation of OOo en-US. 
The steps to get this option are:

(1) Tools - Options - Language Settings - Languages - Enhanced Languages Support
- check "Enabled for Asian Languages"

(2) Now the Default Languages for Documents - Asian will become enabled. Select
Asian - Japanese.

(3) Close the Language Settings dialog and re-open Tools-Options- OOo Writer.
Now a new menu item will appear: "Basic Fonts (Asian)". All the fonts are Tahoma
12 except Heading is MS Mincho 14. Change the Default font and all fonts change
except Heading.

Therefore I will set this issue to resolved - Invalid. I will add another
comment after testing the patch at issue 79676.
Comment 8 sparcmoz 2007-07-17 11:09:28 UTC 
ekato: tested with the 2nd patch from issue 79676. As expected - it displays
correctly without any change to the preferences (default installation of en-US).
