problem with some characters
Hello,
if a website uses “ and ” as quotation marks konqueror doesn't show the quotation marks correct instead he shows small quadrangles.
Same happens with knewsticker and kmail, so i think it's a general problem on KDE.
On the other side firefox don't have a problem with these quotation marks.
Any ideas what's the problem?
Thanks!
PS: on the attachment you can see it. The first line is from konqueror and the second form firefox.

nobody an idea?
Until now i have thought that is a configuration problem or i have missed to install a special package.
But today i have tried a knoppix cd on another pc from my friend and the live-cd shows the same behavior. So it seems like it's really a bug?!?
I don't have any suggestions. I see it on my system too. I thought it had something to do with the font settings I chose.
Have you tried using different font defaults? I've just never bothered.
If you bring up Kcharselect and type in 8220 and 8221 in the UTF lookup box, you'll see the box character you're describing.
Don't know what that means, but it seems as though 8220 is that character in KDE.
On my system (PLD-Linux with KDE 3.3.2) those two characters are displayed correctly in most of the fonts. IMO the problem lies in the fonts you use --- they just don't have a gliph for that character code.
can you tell me some fonts who can show the character on your system?
Just that i can test it. At the moment i use helvetica.
I use standard fonts from X11 for ISO-8859-2 encoding.
what you mean by "standard fonts"? If you look in your konqueror setting you must see some fonts which you have seletcted to display the content.
Please tell me which fonts you use to display these characters correct, thanks.

I mean those fonts that come with X11 in PLD-Linux, I haven't installed any special fonts.

Currently I use Helvetica in Konqueror, but it works for the most of the other fonts too.
