This is actually less problematic on a Mac and on iOS (if you speak the language) because the rendering engine actually prioritizes CJK set according to OS' language preferences (System Settings → Language & Region → Preferred Languages).
It's a much bigger issue on Linux, Android, and Windows prior to Windows 10, however.
- adastra22 3y agoUnless, like me, you have both Japanese and Chinese IMEs installed :(
- sirn 3y agoAh yes, having both probably makes the prioritization fall apart :( I have no idea if there's any sane way to make this work. Since I only speak Japanese, my fix on Linux is to prepend IPA PGothic/IPA PMincho (which only contains Japanese glyph) to lang=ja, which worked quite well.
- MiguelX413 3y agoIt works perfectly for me on Android. It even works with my phone's system language set to English, with Japanese as a fallback.
- sirn 3y agoI haven't used Android since Nokia 7 Plus (back in 2019) but the variant that I had back then (TA-1062) doesn't have Japanese locale settings, despite being Android One and all that. I had to install MoreLocale2 and modify the settings via adb to make it work. Every phone that was sold in the region I used to live (SEA) also lacks Japanese locale out-of-the-box. I had assumed this was still the case (locale availability tie to region being sold).
- MiguelX413 3y agoInteresting, I'm on the SM-G973U1. It always had a Japanese locale iirc. However, I can't recall which version of Android brought fallback locales. I don't remember if it was with this phone or my previous phone that they finally added that feature, but I'm sure it wasn't always a feature.
