font problem?
 
At certain websites, apostraphes turn out as blocks and hyphens(or semicolons? I forget) turn into square-root signs. I suspect it's a font problem... what can I do to fix it? Here's an example:

Can you give an example of a site where it does this? I'm curious to know how the apostrophe is coded in the HTML ;)

Here's one:

OK, that's done with a plain ' character rather than the HTML method. In Tools>Options there's an option for Language, what's that set to?

tools>internet options ? It's english(united states)... but I'm not sure if that's what you mean...

That's the option I wanted but not the answer I wanted, is there anything about encoding in there?

[Edit: just noticed that this wasn't so well worded, think I missed a smiley or two, what I meant was that it wasn't the answer I wanted because it meant it's not the problem I thought it was]

No, nothing about encoding(I have Windows ME, internet explorer 6.0... if that's of any use). But there is an encoding option under "view"... if that's what you wanted to know, it's Cyrillic(windows).

But you know what? I just went back to that site and it looked normal, all of a sudden. I didn't change anything, any idea what it might be?

Steven.Bentley August 8th, 2002 10:08 PM

Hmm well if it happens again try changing Cyrillic to Latin :)
