I found the following quotes: Have clients perform exercises in a "pain-free" range of motion with controlled joint movements (Balady 2000). It's up to us to spread the word and motivate our clients to engage in a progressive RT program for a strong and healthy life. These were direct cut and pastes from the webpage. Nothing funny showing up here. I am using Firefox 1.0.6[1] and this is vim 6.1[2]. I also pasted it into an rxvt 2.7.9[3], again with no problems. I also tried opening the link with lynx 2.8.4rel.1[4], and saw nothing odd with the quotes. Do you perhaps have a better example page? The one you provided is using a iso-8859-1 charset, which my charset is compatible with (iso10646-1)[5] I also tested an xterm (Solaris 10 /usr/openwin/bin/xterm) and saw the problems you saw. Even with the iso10646-1 font, it looks like the xterm cannot handle the quote issue. You might want to look into using a better terminal emulator. Gvim also displayed ? instead of quotes. Might I recommend rxvt or aterm? -john [1] Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050720 Firefox/1.0.6 [2] VIM - Vi IMproved 6.1 (2002 Mar 24, compiled May 3 2002 15:08:56) [3] Rxvt v2.7.9 - released: 04 OCTOBER 2002 [4] Lynx Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001) [5] http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#ucs -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
