Special Characters Not Displaying in FF3
Special character do not display correctly. Instead of characters like a dash, ñ, etc, I get a square with numbers and letters in it.
I've tried changing my character encoding, but that hasn't worked.

Inappropriate?Same Problem. Special characters do not display correctly.
Changing the character encoding definitely doesn't help. IE7 displays same
page correctly. No Idea.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?those aren't special characters, those are apostrophes, possibly the weird smart apostrophes. for stenz, it's an — (—).
There's a few posts on this on the official Firefox Support forum:
- Boxed numbers for special characters
- special characters not displaying properly
- special characters don't display correctly in Firefox 3
- Problem with displaying special characters
- Unable to display some special character correctly that previously worked. < Long discussion on this one
- Texts with accentuation as special characters
- Weird characters sometimes
Apparently it may be your choice of fonts :-/, but check that one with the long discussion and see if anything works for you -
Inappropriate?Thomas, Thanks for the quick replay.
No matter what encoding I choose in Options->Content->Fonts->Advanced it defaults to UTF-8, every time I reload page or restart FF3. The only solution is to go to View->Character Encoding and then force it to ISO-8859-1 for each page I’m viewing.
With ISO-8859-1 apostrophes are displayed correctly. :-) But I still got problem with “&” and “% “.
However, if I choose NOT to allow pages to choose their own fonts, set my font to Arial and use ISO-8859-1 encoding problem simply disappears.
Thanks!
I’m happy
