Subscribe to Planet Gnome. The new blog by roozbeh causes the grey bar at the
top to extend all the way down the page, pushing the text into a narrow column
on the left. See screenshot

Yeah, I've noticed this as well, it's weird since it's the mozilla engine that
doesn't show it correctly. Might be that we don't set the correct encoding or
something.

Not only Persian. On Planet GNOME are posts from danilo. His name is cyrillic (I
think) and display is hosed, too.
Comment 6 Corey Burger 2005-03-23 15:24:05 UTC 
I can confirm the cyrillic
Comment 7 Heath Harrelson 2005-05-13 05:44:10 UTC 
I used to see these sorts of things with Planet GNOME posts from danilo and
roozbeh, but since I started using my patch for bug 302579, I no longer have
this problem.

I think the EncodeUnicode method in ItemView.cs is to blame.  Instead of
EncodeUnicode, my patch uses System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode to escape the
item title before putting it in the <title> section of the document given to
Mozilla.

That's really great, I'll add a comment on that for a backlink to this one.
Comment 9 Mikael Hallendal 2005-05-15 11:55:51 UTC 
Got solved by Heaths patch for bug 302579.
