Version: 3.5 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-smp I use Open SuSE 10.0 while reading http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English i found, that Konquerror do not display some phonetic simbols (the ones on [] braces) however Firefox (1.5) displays them all fine. screenshots attached
Created attachment 14246 [details] screenshot of the problem this is a screenshot of how it looks both in Konqueror and in Firefox on my system side by side. see that where there are empty [] braces in konq, there are some distinct symbols in firefox. PS: i use no Microsoft open-type fonts.
Change your font.

It is IMPOSSIBLE to remeber which font dispays which language. If firefox showed those symbols, it means that the necessary font IS installed on my system, but the KDE somehow does not substitute it to display those characters, as it ususally happens with most of the non-latin languages (russian, arabic, japanese, etc). PS: if i would be an "ordinary enduser" (90% of which never touch any "options") i did not even know how to do it!
Qt 4 has a better font engine that does those replacements for you. You'll just have to wait for KDE 4.
KDE4 rules indeed! i tried it on the recent SUSE build of KDE4, and the problem seems to be gone. (for example, with simplified chinese, i checked on http://www.cctv.cn -- simplified chinese charecters do not appear in KDE3, and in KDE4 they are fine.) cant check on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_English -- konq4 crashes on all wikipedia pages so far :-)
The problem seems to be unresolved under KDE 3.5.10. It's not acceptable to switch to KDE 4.x that's not production stable.
