GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 314372
Yelp shows unnecessary characters
Last modified: 2005-08-24 16:57:39 UTC
Distribution/Version: 2.6.12-gentoo-r6 If I use Yelp to view documentation I can read almost everything but some unnecassary characters show up, especially the unicode 00C3 character ( an 'A' with a '^' on top of it. See www.unicode.org/charts/ ) also other non relevant characters show up. =Example1= For example when I select "Desktop" "Gnome Display Manager Reference Manual" and I look at the Table of Contens it shows the following text Section* 1 Terms and Conventions Used in This Manual Section* 2 Overview Section* 3 Configuration where the * is unicode 00C3 Unicode character 00C3 seems to shows up at places where there are tabs or more than one whitespace character. =Example 2:= I have the following example of other useless unicode characters that show up. In the "Gnome display Reference manual" in section 3.2.1 Daemon Configuration, it explains the use of the AutomaticLogin item. Yelp shows the following: <quote> The following control chars are recognized within the specified name: % % ... the '%' character </quote> Where ... consists of an "a" with a "^" on top of it followed by unicode code points 0090 and 0094
