Doc #54088 [NEW]: Some unicode chars not being displayed in IE.

From: rquadling Operating system: N/A PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Some unicode chars not being displayed in IE. Description: ------------ On http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.types.integer.php, the first line reads ... "An integer is a number of the set ℤ = {..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...}." In Google Chrome V11.0.672.2 dev and in Firefox V3.6.13, the ℤ (a Double-Struck Capital Z :: ࡌ) is displayed correctly. In IE8.0.6001.18702, the character displayed is the usual box character for an unknown glyph. This is also true in the downloaded CHM files (as they use IE to render the page) as well as all the compatibility and quirks mode (tested within IE8). It seems that the font being used is Arial. In the Arial font on my machine (V3.00 and digitally signed to be an authentic font), this glyph is not present. Adding "Arial Unicode MS" to the font-family, then this character is displayed correctly. The issue is not an encoding issue. The character is correctly encoded. It is just the font being used by IE doesn't have the glyph. But replacing the entire site's font isn't something I'd like to do just to fix what so far is 1 character. One way would be to change the ℤ to a Z. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer says this is one way this symbol is shown. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54088&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=54088&r=mysqlcfg
