Bug 117395 – Konqueror 3.5 doesn't display some HTML entities

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Watzke 2006-01-01 14:40:27 UTC]

Hi. I found a bug in Konqueror. It doesn't display HTML entities like ↑ → and (sure) much more.... Instead of entity I can see only square. In Firefox it's okay with same font (Verdana, Tahoma, etc.).

This is of course a problem for upstream, check for it on http://bugs.kde.org/ and report if nothing else was reported before.

[Comment 2 David Watzke 2006-01-01 15:31:07 UTC]

Yeah, it's very old bug (KDE 3.0). See URL. They'll fix it *maybe* after year. :( Can Gentoo team do something with that? Hope you don't go mad, if I reopen it. :) Close it you can always...

[Comment 3 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-01-01 15:45:56 UTC]

Well, the bug has to be resolved by KDE devs, we're concerned mainly of local issues with Gentoo. If someone wants to fix it, it would go upstream first anyway.
