Now that you point it out I see the problem too when using Epiphany 2.14.3 (Sid). There are some "UTF" like codes which are displayed. The codes change to "normal" characters when the Text Encoding is changed to "Western (Windows-1252)" from the one detected by default - Western (ISO-8859-1). Firefox shows normal text for the ISO-8859-1 encoding (the default content-type for the HTML page - see source). But if you change the encoding UTF-8 or ISO-8859-15 in Firefox, you will notice the same weird behaviour for some of the punctuation marks. It seems that Epiphany is using the same character encoding for ISO-8859-1 as ISO-8859-15. Does Epiphany being based on Gecko have anything to do with character encoding being used/displayed? I'm no expert on this, but thought that this should be pointed out as Epiphany in Etch is not the only version showing the odd behaviour. /kS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
