For some reason, SM displays them to the right of the target letter,
although the source code displays them correctly. It's because the
author has used "u" plus the combining umlaut rather than the single
letter "ü," thus: "ü."
So "the University of Tübingen" appears as "the University of
Tu¨bingen," and "Rainer Grün" appears as "Rainer Gru¨n."
I'm not using an odd font here, and they don't specify one. It's
plain-vanilla Times Roman.
Copy/pasting the source code into Notepad, MS Word, or other
applications shows that it displays correctly there. Even copy/pasting
the text from the badly displayed browser window shows that it
displays correctly elsewhere. Only in an SM browser window is the
umlaut misplaced. No, wait, IE 11 has the same problem.
Any idea how to fix this?
Can you not use the character map to get an accented character? It is
easier with MacOS because there are keyboard shortcuts to create
accented characters.
I know perfectly well how to make accented characters in my own
documents, HTML and otherwise. That wasn't the question.
