RE: Fonts in Firefox for names

Hello Martin,

During our call today we were reviewing different proposals for the name list. Richard noticed that his browser was showing some inconsistency for one or two names that I had added in that region. The reason this happened (we debugged later in the call, but probably after our scribe exited) was: those names are tagged in HTML with a <span lang=???> (where ??? is a language tag like `nah` or `tsz`). Firefox was using the font under "Settings > Font > Advanced > Other Writing Systems" because of the language tag, and the font was set differently for Richard (and separately Bert, who found the setting), even though the writing system for Nahuatl and Purepecha are both Latin.

Richard sent the screenshot to the list while we were on the call as he did not care to share his screen on Zoom and since we were beyond time anyway.

Thanks!

Addison

Hello Richard,

I'm not sure why you sent this image to the list. But I notice that is some inconsistency in the font used for Latin in the 419 region that I can't explain. (It doesn't have to do with accents.)

Regards,   Martin.
