FIX: Internet Explorer does not use the correct font to display a character string that contains English alphanumeric characters on a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based device that is configured for Japanese

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Japanese version of a Windows Embedded Compact 7-based image on a device that includes the following locale settings, components, and registry setting:

    • Locale settings

      • Language Packs to Build: Japanese (Japan) - (0411)
      • Installed UI Language Packs: Japanese (Japan) - (0411)
      • Default UI Language: Japanese (Japan) - (0411)
      • Default Locale: Japanese (Japan) - (ja-JP)
    • Components

      Add the following catalog items for the Japanese locale:

      • SYSGEN_NLS_JA
      • SYSGEN_NLS_JA_JP
      • SYSGEN_NLS_JA_JP_RADSTR
      • SYSGEN_FONTS_MSGOTHIC

      Add Internet Explorer 7 Sample Browser:

      • SYSGEN_IE7_IESAMPLE
    • Registry setting
      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\International\Scripts\24
      "IEFixedFontName"="MS Gothic" 
      "IEPropFontName"="MS Gothic"

  • You open Internet Explorer and then access a webpage on the device.

In this scenario, a character string that contains English alphanumeric characters is not displayed in the correct font on the webpage.
