Hello all.

On a fresh install of 11.1/KDE 4.2.2 I am working with a document that contains Cyrillic characters. There is one character that will not display in Konqueror (an HTML document) nor will this character display in Kate text editor, nor in Kwrite. A small rectangular placeholder is displayed instead which I assume means "unknown character". Other Cyrillic characters display correctly.

The same HTML document displays the character correctly using Firefox and a document created with OpenOffice also displays correctly.

The HTML was created from a MS Word doc using wvWare. The Kate, Kwrite, and OO documents were created by copy-n-paste from the Gnome character map.

See here example of FF and Konqueror: http://volga.niedermonjou.org:8000/CyrillicLetter.png

Any clues as to why a "Ѣ" will not display using a text editor? Thanks! Mike G -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is old Cyrillics... Is it not present in all the fonts, perhaps? I don't know, I will have to look into this. This character, "yat" (transliteration), has been excluded from the Russian alphabet in the early 20th century (1921, if the memory serves), so I am hypothesizing that some Cyrillic fonts simply lack it. Like I said, I'll try to look into it. Boris. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
