Yes, it does feel strange that the other Japanese encodings aren't included in
the test.

I think that you have already demonstrated that we should check font name, not
encoding name. Whether this should be a decoding or rendering quirk is a
separate question, and both solutions have their downsides. Some of the
downsides are purely theoretical (such as a script finding an unexpected
character code in element.innerHTML value). Others are practical, but familiar
to many users (such as being unable to use search with these characters
reliably).

But without any known pages (ideally, from major sites) that we render worse
than Internet Explorer, it would be quite hard to justify making changes in
either direction, even as we agree that the current solution is imperfect.
