Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-fonts] incorporate mitigations for font based fingerprinting (#4055)

> Japanese and Chinese (and maybe Korean? I'm not sure) come to mind, if we count fonts installed by office as non system fonts.

Yes, that came up upthread. It's an interesting case considering that in general it seems like an anti-feature that Web sites can tell what apps you have installed.

Are there others?

How do the Windows 10 Chinese and Japanese font packs affect the role of Office fonts. (It seems that making a browser ignore the Windows 10 font packs that install as side effect of enabling a language would be unlikely to be well received by users.)

macOS ships a working (Noto) font for the Mongolian script. It also ships broken fonts, and a broken one takes precedence.

I wonder to what extent issues with other scripts arise from bad default font selection order rather than lack of system-bundled fonts.
