What do you see here? What OS and Font are you using?

“” ₨ - – — ①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⓪ ⓐⓑⓒⓓⓔ

(Should be Open-Double-Quote, Close-Double-Quote Rupee-Sign Hyphen Endash Emdash Ringed-numbers-1234567890 Ringed-letters-abcde)

I get the above without the rings (with the numbers and letters in a different style) using New Century Schoolbook on Debian Etch's Iceweasel 2.0.0.12. [image] -- Senji

[Windows XP service pack 2] - MoonShadow (numbers 1-3 bad, 4-9 and a-e approximated with parentheses)
[Windows 2000 SP 4, Verdana font] --qqzm (numbers 1-3 bad)
[Ubuntu 8.04 beta] --cjwatson (all correct)
[Windows XP SP 2, Times New Roman (apparently) (at work)] --ChrisHowlett (numbers 1-3 bad, 4-9 and a-e approximated with parentheses)
[Windows XP SP 2, Times New Roman (apparently) (at home)] --ChrisHowlett (all correct)
[Windows XP Pro SP 2, Firefox, Arial] --AlexChurchill (all correct)
[Debian Lenny, Iceweasel 2.0.0.12, serif] -- PeterTaylor (all correct, although the ringed letters look a bit odd)

: I get this too, on one Debian/unstable machine, but worse on another.

[Windows XP SP2, Times New Roman] --Rachael (numbers 1-3 bad (minus, equals, star in circles), 4-9 and a-e approximated with parentheses). Oh, and the rupee sign is wrong too, apparently (I didn't know what it was supposed to look like, but it looks different from Alex's.)

: The rupee sign looks different, but it's correct. That's just variation between fonts. --PT

[My Windows XP SP2, Times New Roman work machine] --qqzm (Rupee and 0 bad)
[Windows XP SP1, Firefox 2.0.0.12, Lucida Sans Unicode] --B (all correct)

[Having installed the supplemental language support packs from the XP CD, I now get this] - MoonShadow (I suspect the approximation-with-brackets may be down to Times New Roman. Note the rupee sign has changed.)
[Windows XP SP2, Times New Roman] --SF (all correct, just to throw off the previous theory. Well, 0 is a bit weird).
[Windows XP SP2, Times New Roman, Firefox from home box] --SF (all correct except that the 0 is half-sized).

Some deep magic going on then. Hm. You're using MSIE in that shot, I'm using FF. If I visit this page in MSIE (v6 on this box), only the - is correct - *all* the other characters are boxes. - MoonShadow

Firefox is unfortunately not installed on this computer, so I can't check the browser thing. This is IE 7.0.5730.11 --SF

Alex, what browser is your shot from? You use IE7 IIRC, don't you? - MoonShadow

: IIRC, he uses IE only for ToothyChat, and FF for everything else. --Rachael
: Yes, that's right. [The shot above] is from Firefox; viewing the page on the same machine but in IE(6) [looks like this]: everything the same except the Rupee doesn't display and the circled-0 looks different. Despite both being in my default font of Arial. --AC

I just tried it in IE 6 (Times New Roman) and I get lines and boxes for everything except the quotes. --Rachael

[MacOSX 10.5, Firefox default font] -- khrister (1-9 bad, the rest ok) In Safari, also default font, everything looks ok.
[Debian/testing, Iceweasel, default font (FreeSerif)] -- MoonShadow (letters bad, rest OK)
[Debian/Stable Opera 9.26 Helvetica] --MairAW All present, but 0 is weird.
[FreeBSD 6.2, Firefox "serif"] --NickTaylor, only the circled 9 looks as though it belongs in the same font as regular text, but all the others match their descriptions.

OK, last night after installing the additional language support packs I didn't actually reboot before taking the screenshots above. Having done so this morning, I now get what Alex gets in IE, and [this] in Firefox. So, solution: install the [supplemental language support] and reboot. - MoonShadow

: Yes, I did idly wonder if it was related to that. Naturally I have kanji installed, due to my occasional visits to Japanese pages and even-more-occasional attempts to read them. (I've no idea why the rupee and circled-0 would be different between two browsers' attempts at displaying it in Arial-with-language-pack, though. --AC
