Thanks for the report, Rich.

It's helpful for this kind of report to give a sample url which
reproduces your problem.

As it is, the numbers and £ sign are printing fine here (I tested
against www.amazon.co.uk).

I use a UTF-8 locale.  I notice yours is ISO-8859.

Could you consider installing a UTF-8 locale and reporting back if the
problem goes away when you use it?  dpkg-reconfigure locales.

(It may in fact be sufficient simply to invoke "LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
firefox" without compiling the UTF-8 locale, but I'm not sure.  Best to
compile it and set it as default to be sure both Xprt and firefox are
using it.)

In the meantime, think of it as a security feature - no one will know
how much money is in your account...
