Description Gene Pavlovsky 2005-07-13 06:40:27 UTC
Version details: 2.6.5
Distribution/Version: gentoo

to reproduce (always reproducible): run yelp on any manual, for example,
planner's help

I've got a problem with gnome-help - all section, figure etc. numbers are
prefixed with some strange symbols. 
I've attached two screenshots:
  yelp_planner_manual.jpg - yelp showing the planner manual - lots of these
strange symbols (looking like capital A with an arc above it)
  mozilla_mail_archive.jpg - mozilla showing
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2004-August/msg00025.html
Maybe stuff described in this page has got smth to do with this issue, because
the symbols are somewhat alike (only this is a lower-case
a with a circumflex above it).

Anyway, I tried many different fonts so probably this is not a font issue.

this may be relevant to the bug - at least, the symbols look somewhat alike
Comment 3 Shaun McCance 2005-07-13 07:04:43 UTC
This is a character encoding problem.  Mozilla is interpreting the UTF-8 as some
other character encoding, so it thinks it sees characters that aren't supposed
to be there.

This bug report says you're running a 2.6.x version of Yelp.  Is that correct? 
(You can find the Yelp version in Help->About.)

Screenshots look very similar. Marking as DUPLICATE.
