Hi,
I though this bug [1] I've just filled against WebKit might be of some
interest to you. In short, WebKit shows blank space instead of some
characters, I noticed Japanese, Chinese and Korean to be the ones
affected.
I am not sure if it's WebKit or Fedora-way-of-font-handling issue, so I
though I might let you know as well... (I hope I am not just causing
noise :-D)
Thanks,
Martin

can you install wqy-zenhei-fonts or ttf-arphic-uming and tell us
if the problem goes away.

It'd be interesting to know what lib webkit uses for text layouting.
Its root are in KDE and KDE tends to use QT's less than ideal
layouting engine. OTOH GTK apps tend to use pango. If gtk-webkit uses
somethingin the middle it's not surprising it behaves stangely.

I didn't noticed you sent it to me directly (and CCed the fonts list), so resending to
fonts-list...

AFAIK, WebKit-gtk uses pango as well...
$ rpm -q --requires WebKit-gtk | grep pango
libpango-1.0.so.0
libpangocairo-1.0.so.0

Installing wqy-zenhei-fonts does not solve the issue, ttf-arphic-uming
does not seem to be in Fedora :-/

I have some new info from the webkit guys. They use either pango or
fontconfig backend (in fedora we select the pango one), but both suffer
the same issue. The problem is believed to be in font fallback code. I
believe you know more about that stuff than I do, so I figured you might
be able to help. Here are the relevant webkit bugs (one of which has
even an ugly workaround patch):
