Font display on Non-English sites

[Jonathan Chen]

Hi,

I'm currently using chromium-23.0.1271.64 with LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8; and I've
noticed that non-latin characters do not display correctly, eg:
http://www.cnn.co.jp/ displays squares instead of Japanese characters.

If I start chrome with LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, http://www.cnn.co.jp/ displays
correctly; but all its prompts are in Japanese - not ideal.

Is this a FreeBSD chromium issue, or is it a general failing of chromium?

Workarounds and hints would be welcome.

Cheers.
