Bug 41043: Hardcode the UI font on Linux
The mechanism to choose the UI font does not play well with our fontconfig configuration. As a result, the final criterion to choose the font for the UI was its version.
Since we hardcode Arimo as a default sans-serif on preferences, we use it also for the UI. FontConfig will fall back to some other font for scripts Arimo does not cover as expected (we tested with Japanese). --- gfx/thebes/gfxFcPlatformFontList.cpp | 8 +++++--- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
