I am part of a documentation team that created http://www.plplot.org/resources/docbook-manual/plplotdoc-html-0.3.2/escape-sequences.html and associated pages with DocBook 4.1 XML. I don't understand all the details, but the guy who prepared this particular page tells me he used unicode to represent the Greek letters. Mozilla (M18) renders the page without problems, but konqueror renders all the Greek letters (see Table at the bottom of the page) with question marks.
I have some preliminary questions I am hoping this list can answer before deciding whether or not to send a bug report to KDE about this bad rendering. (1) Is unicode part of the www standard or is it some proprietary feature that mozilla happens to render? I understand there is a web site somewhere that can be used to check a page for www standards consistency. Anybody know the URL for that checking website? (2) Is Konqueror supposed to support unicode or is this a known and perhaps even deliberately missing feature? (3) If deliberately missing and/or if unicode is not a www standard, what is a better standards-compliant way to specify Greek characters? (4) If konqueror supports unicode, how do I configure it so that it will render the Greek letters? TIA for your help with these questions.
