(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: khtml Version: cvs 10-Feb-2001 Severity: normal Unicode characters embedded in HTML on http://www.economist.com are not displayed correctly unless the encoding is switched to Unicode (which btw. has a really ugly font on my system. Is there an easy way to switch to a different unicode font?) Example: ..to meet their citizens’ rising expectations.. The single quote is shown as a question mark. regards Ralf (submitted via bugs.kde.org)
I played around a little bit trying to understand this encoding mess. The page looks better after installing the latest Windows True Type fonts. It seems to use Verdana so this makes the page look much nicer. It still does not show the unicode characters correctly. If I manually change to cp1254 encoding the unicode characters are shown. I don't see a way in Konqueror's Settings to configure the font used for UTF-8 encoding. I thought the Windows TTF fonts support Unicode? But switching to utf-8 encoding doesn't use the true type fonts.... I think its time for me to read some more Unicode HOWTOs :) Ralf
