Description Dhaval Patel 2007-09-26 15:39:27 UTC 
Version:           Konqueror 3.5.7 (same as KDE) (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The above URL or the code below shows displays the problem. The up arrow and down arrow will not be displayed correctly if the font-family is specified as a MS core web TTF.

I hope the things below render properly, if not just go to the URL above.

<div>
    <span>&amp;darr; and &amp;uarr; with font-family Verdana</span>
    <span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-Serif;">&darr;</span>
    <span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-Serif;">&uarr;</span>

This is verified to work in Safari Mac 10.4.x. It is only a problem with Konqueror.
