Default Chinese Web Fallback fonts on macOS
Since macOS 10.11 El Capitan, STHeiti shall not be used & appeared as web kanji fallback fonts for any reason. Mozilla FireFox already addressed this. However, it looks like Tor is not reading the right font families.
I saw Tor 11.0.2 shows certain PingFang kagebunshins (which PostScript names started with a half-width dot):
However, certain macOS apps (including FireFox) are blocked by macOS from directly reading those fonts with their PostScript names started with a half-width dot.
The right choices here are:
- Simplified Chinese: PingFang SC.
- Traditional Chinese (Taiwan): PingFang TC then fallback to PingFang SC ('cause PingFang TC has less amount of kanji ideograph support than PingFang SC).
- Traditional Chinese (Hong Kong): PingFang HK then fallback to PingFang SC ('cause PingFang HK has less amount of kanji ideograph support than PingFang SC).
// "System Font" in the font list should be handled by macOS at all. If there's any reference to "Heiti SC" or "STHeiti*", then it needs to be fixed to something what Mozilla FireFox currently refers to. If a CJK font name must be specified, use "PingFang SC".
P.S.: STHeiti is terrible on retina displays.
