Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-5.1+b1
Severity: normal

w3m seems to handle ­ worse than the gecko family. Rather than
ignoring ­ which results in readable texts w3m puts expands every
­ to a hyphen. The correct behaviour would be to remove ­ and
otherwise insert a hyphen if and only if a line break improves text
flow.

Similarly w3m expands ‌ to something that displays as a question
mark on my xterm. As w3m requires monospace fonts character joining is a
non-issue and ‌ and ‍ should also expand to nothing.

An idea for a patch would be modifying entity.c:66 conv_entity to return
an empty string for some special integer value to be chosen and then
modifying entity.h to map these entities to the special integer value.
