Description Tomofumi Yagi 2014-04-26 16:16:58 UTC 
Problem description:

The problem is that Osaka font is used as UI font.
Expected behavior is that Hiragino Gothic font are used as UI font instead of Osaka font.

This problem will be solved by editing officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/VCL.xcu.
Comment 1 Owen Genat (retired) 2014-07-22 12:30:17 UTC 
Seems like a reasonable request. Presumably the design / l10n teams will need to be consulted to determine how the change (if any) should be made.

For clarity, the two entries in the referenced location mentioning "Osaka" are both in the "ja" locale entries:

<prop oor:name="UI_FIXED" oor:type="xs:string" oor:op="replace">
   <value>HG ゴシックB Sun;HG-GothicB Sun;HG Mincho Light J;ＭＳ Ｐゴシック;Osaka;ヒラギノ角ゴ ProN W3;ヒラギノ角ゴ Pro W3;TLPゴシック;LXゴシック;HGPGothicB;IPA Pゴシック;東風ゴシック;さざなみゴシック;Kochi Gothic;UmePlus Gothic;Gothic</value>
</prop>

<prop oor:name="UI_SANS" oor:type="xs:string" oor:op="replace">

Status set to NEW.

Thanks,
I seem that this bug had resolved by the following commit.

commit e2a41b4415f59c2c6a75f40775a19c8ce4cbdb42

    don't screw around with the system font selection


After this commit, Hiragino Kaku Gothic font is used as UI font in Japanese locale, and Osaka font isn't used.

In comment 4 a fix was identified, so I’m closing this report. Please don’t hesitate to reopen it if the problem resurfaces in the future.
