Package: libwebkit-1.0-2 Version: 1.2.3-2+b1 Severity: normal According to the W3C[*], C1 control codes such as U+0080 should not be interpreted as Microsoft characters. In the attached testcase, WebKit (tested with /usr/lib/webkit-1.0-2/libexec/GtkLauncher) renders U+0080 as a Euro symbol, 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 libwebkit-1.0-2 depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-4 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-1 a wrapper library for various spel ii libfontconfig1 2.8.0-2.1 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.4.2-1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgail18 2.20.1-1 GNOME Accessibility Implementation ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgstreamer-plugins-base0. 0.10.30-1 GStreamer libraries from the "base ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.30-1 Core GStreamer libraries and eleme ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libicu44 4.4.1-6 International Components for Unico ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.1-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsoup2.4-1 2.30.2-1 an HTTP library implementation in ii libsqlite3-0 3.7.0-1.1 SQLite 3 shared library ii libstdc++6 4.4.4-8 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwebkit-1.0-common 1.2.3-2 Web content engine library for Gtk ii libxml2 2.7.7.dfsg-4 GNOME XML library ii libxslt1.1 1.1.26-5 XSLT 1.0 processing library - runt ii libxt6 1:1.0.7-1 X11 toolkit intrinsics library libwebkit-1.0-2 recommends no packages. libwebkit-1.0-2 suggests no packages. -- no debconf informationTitle: Test for C1 Control Code
