Problem Details:

Chinese text displayed in Japanese fonts (or vice versa) looks strange. The shapes of the same character sometimes differ. http://www.unicode.org/faq/han_cjk.html#2

Respecting the system font link of Segoe UI (if available) and/or selecting a proper font based on osu! UI language/chat channel/language tag of beatmaps is better imo. (Detecting the language of a short piece of text is a non-trivial problem.)




Video or screenshot showing the problem:



osu! version: 20140313.12test

The issue is that there is overlap in the kanji usage (they share the same unicode). I currently have detection for japanese characters and default to Meiryo. I will add further detection for chinese, but there may be some edge cases/overlaps.

Should be better now!
