In #10522, we added support for client-side rendering of CJK glyphs through the
localIdeographFontFamilyoption. This change was motivated by significant bandwidth required to download ideographic glyphs from the server; using client-side fonts for ideographs resulted in a performance optimization. At the time, we didn't include Hiragana and Katakana glyph ranges inlocalIdeographFontFamilybecause they're not ideographic; however, this makes it impossible to use client-side rendering for Japanese maps, which contain a mix of ideographic (Kanji) and non-ideographic characters.In the next release, we should expand the glyph ranges of
