As Ulrich said, Chromium should not depend on the fonts at all. They use |
| 9 |
different methods of rendering fonts, but both do their work with |
| 10 |
finding the right font to use if one is installed. In general, one |
| 11 |
should be expected to have the right fonts installed for the right |
| 12 |
language to display. |

Also, I think singling out CJK here might be a bit inappropriate; while |
| 15 |
they are probably the most commonly known languages using non-latin |
| 16 |
scripts, they are definitely not the sole ones. Just take a look at the |
| 17 |
Wikipedia homepage[1] to see how many non-latin languages are there (and |
| 18 |
keep in mind that it's a subset of the world's languages). |

For what it's worth, in my screenshot there are four languages missing |
| 21 |
glyphs entirely, and a few having glitches, all of this with this |
