Description Andries 2005-08-24 11:46:51 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
