Package: lynx-cur Version: 2.8.8dev.4-3 Severity: normal According to the W3C[*], C1 control codes such as U+0080 should not be interpreted as Microsoft characters. In the attached testcase, Lynx displays a Euro symbol for U+0080, which is incorrect.
[*] http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-controls Whereas the ISO 8859 family reserves the C1 range for controls, Microsoft character sets (e.g. 1250-1258) place characters in this range. Sometimes content authors mistakenly use the Microsoft character code points in creating NCRs instead of using the Unicode values. Because of the prevalence of this mistake, many browsers display the Microsoft characters in this range. This is incorrect ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ behavior and further misleads the developer by incorrectly ^^^^^^^^ confirming the mistaken value. The problem may eventually be discovered when the data is treated by some application, or when a standards-conforming browser fails to display the intended character. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lynx-cur depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.35 Debian configuration management sy ii libbsd0 0.2.0-1 utility functions from BSD systems ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcrypt11 1.4.5-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.8.6-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libidn11 1.18-1 GNU Libidn library, implementation ii libncursesw5 5.7+20100313-2 shared libraries for terminal hand ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime Versions of packages lynx-cur recommends: ii mime-support 3.48-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap Versions of packages lynx-cur suggests: pn lynx-cur-wrapper <none> (no description available) -- debconf information excluded -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)Title: Test for C1 Control Code
