multi lingual websites do NOT work in chrome!

Reported by tp.gam...@gmail.com, Apr 21 2017

Issue description

What do you want?
I am outraged that the "majority" can tell the "minority who actually used webpages that are multilingual" that we do NOT need TO BE ABLE TO READ TWO LANGUAGES ON THE SAME WEBPAGE AT THE SAME TIME!

Why do you want it?

Will you please get Chrome and their discriminatory decision makers to stop telling us minorities to shut up? Seriously! Dyslexics are can not use the Open Source Dyslexic font on Chrome. Language learners and bilingual webpage users are banned from choosing a coding that works for the webpage! Chrome thinks they are God and perfect! I have NO WAY to read that website EXCEPT by telling Chrome to go to hell where Hitler is! Seriously? Is this how rich companies run their website by telling minorities to go away? Thanks!

Honestly, a majority of the world's population are multilingual. So it's more of a case of the US/English minority discriminating against more or less the rest of the world. Only 40% are monolingual.
The comment by Anka is silly because we still need to see every single language on that page how it was intended. And to assume that all webpages only use one language is racist. In this PC world, it is disgusting how chrome and certain other browsers insist that we be as sort of racist and single minded as they are. Sure, I can actually make of sense of several different languages when I need to. However, it is impossible to read a high brow page where they use more than one language on the same page, and often in the same sentence, and is very polyglot when I am using a browser that insists that everyone hates other languages but one language - whichever is the most dominant language on that page, is the only language they want to see on that page. If I could program, I would have programmed my own browser ages ago, and marketed myself as the only browser that is so multicultural that allow all languages to show up on the same page at the same time AND accommodate multi language coding on the same page. Perhaps this last one, might need some accommodation in CSS 3 and HTML 5. I'm not sure. But it would be worth it, if for no other reason, but to support World Peace and Multicultural Understanding and Getting along. Thank you for understanding my issues and accommodating world peace and world multiculturalism!

Distilling what is presented in the comments above. I get that this is a feature request to support Open Source Dyslexic font?

Comment 5 by tp.gam...@gmail.com, Feb 15 2018

Sorry! The dyslexic font is now working (user error). 

Note: it is still Not possible to read webpages with two DIFFERENT font encodings on it (for example, utf-8 and Cyrillic or chinese.) This is a necessary feature so that we researchers, language learners and polyglots can read ALL words on the page that are often in two different font codings! Often times I find webpages that are NOT utf-8, the preferred encoding, or use some weird encoding that your defaults don't even recognize. 

Thank you! I hope this is clear now. Again, I apologise for NOT removing the dyslexic font issue.

Also, please note what I see in this link is blatant discrimination. There is no way for me to fix this without cracking that website and forcing it to use utf-8 for all of it. http://www.ctcfl.ox.ac.uk/Chinese/grammarlist.htm I am fully aware that older websites are a headache for programmers. However, many people in foreign countries, do not use modern utf-8 standards even though they update their websites content on a regular basis. Thanks! Signing off now.

The page in question explicitly specifies that it is using utf-8 encoding. The browser is required to respect that.

If two or more encoding are needed then the website needs to use different documents for each encoding. There is no such thing as a multi-encoding document in HTML.

Comment 8 by tp.gam...@gmail.com, Feb 15 2018

Just because the programmar says its "utf-8" doesn't mean it IS utf-8. The symbols should not be there. Not all characters are showing up. I shouldn't see ?'s. Thanks! All I am asking for is to be able to choose the encoding myself so that I can play around with website to see which one shows all the language characters they are trying to show. That shouldn't be that difficult as we USED to be able to do that. Thanks!
