Since you've provided no information, I can only make up some wild guesses. ;) Either: * This alleged euro symbol is encoded as the international currency symbol (the byte 0xA4 in iso-8859-1, or a ¤ or ¤ numeric reference.) In this case, it's showing correctly, but was incorrectly encoded by someone whose browser was using iso-8859-15. or: * This alleged euro symbol is encoded in some other horribly wrong way which, somehow, ends up showing as the generic currency symbol. or: * This euro symbol is encoded correctly as € or €, in which case there is a fault somewhere along the line between app, qt, and the font library. Can you take a look at http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sandbox ? I've stuck some euro symbols and generic currency symbols up at the top, please compare them. If the euro symbols look like real euro symbols, then whatever you've been looking at is wrong and needs to be corrected; please cite it. If these euro symbols look wrong, then you'd best check a great many configurations. ;) Also, please try: xfd -fn `xlsfonts | grep verdana.\*iso8859-1` xfd -fn `xlsfonts | grep verdana.\*iso8859-15` xfd -fn `xlsfonts | grep verdana.\*iso10646-1` or reasonable variation to see the things look correct showing characters from those encodings directly. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
