I've been building an HTML file that uses lots of words in multiple languages using multiple alphabets, and I want to specify how each alphabet's words will appear. For example, I want the Greek alphabet to be in the Georgia font face, and the default sizes for Semitic and Indic alphabets are strangely small so I want them bigger, and the size issue is also making me consider the Tahoma face for the Arabic alphabet instead of the usual more conventional style.
I know my browser can display the faces I want, in various sizes, because, when I save the file using "font" tags to change them (one word at a time, over and over), it works. But my browser (Firefox in Windows 7) also has font display settings that are supposed to allow me to pick separate sizes & faces for separate alphabets. That should make it possible to set the sizes & faces I want as defaults and not need to put in these special one-word-at-a-time modifications in the HTML file, and it should also make it possible to find the ideal size for an alphabet if I think it's slightly too small with "+2" in HTML but too big with "+3", because the list of sizes to choose from runs from 9 to 72.
But most of the choices I make in my supposed default display settings make no difference. Arabic lets me set its font face and it really works, but changing the size number has no effect on the actual size of the words. With the Greek alphabet, neither works. The face seems to be defaulting to the same one I use for the Latin alphabet, even though the one I'm trying to get it to default to is correctly displayed if I specify it in "font" tags in the HTML file. It just won't take that from the default settings. But when I close and re-open the default settings page, the last change I made is actually still there; it gets saved but not used.
What's going on here?
