Comment 1 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-22 19:10:45 UTC 
lost functionality
Comment 2 Maksim Orlovich 2004-07-22 19:16:05 UTC 
Switch your fonts to those that have squares. Works for me, BTW

Comment 3 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-22 19:59:41 UTC 
OK, not the fonts, but the "default encoding" to "iso8859-1"
thanks 
may be this variable should be set automatically to a more appropriate value.

BTW some fonts have not been defined at all

Comment 5 Thiago Macieira 2004-07-23 00:47:22 UTC 
Non-sense. The encoding detection is working fine. The bug is in the pages that don't send their own encoding: contact the webmasters.

For ASCII-only pages (and this is not the case), no charset parameter is acceptable. In every other page, there has to be a charset indication.
Comment 6 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-23 07:56:29 UTC 
these are the first 4 lines of the nice matin site 

<html>
<head>
<title>nice-matin</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

so what's wrong? the encoding seems to be there.
Hmm no DOCTYPE?
Comment 7 Ferdinand Gassauer 2004-07-23 09:45:05 UTC 
this page renders correctly on another box runnung suse 8.0 and KDE 3.2.3, with default encoding is "use language encoding"
so I would be happy if that can be sorted out
