They're scattered in several platform-dependent pref. files: Windows : http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/libpref/src/win/winpref.js Mac OS: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/libpref/src/mac/macprefs.js Unix: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/libpref/src/unix/unix.js AIX : http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/libpref/src/unix/aix.js BeOS: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/libpref/beos/beos.js OS2: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/libpref/os2/os2pref.js (there is the pref. file for QNX as well, but I don't think there's anything interesting there). Note that Unix/AIX list have XLFD(X11 Logical Font Description) entries instead of just family names. winpref.js has both English names and CJK names for CJK fonts. As I wrote before, I have yet to see non-CJK truetype fonts with non-English name fields filled in. Besides, Win32 APIs don't return them even if they're present as far as I can tell.

This sounds like a reasonable course of actions. Jungshik
