Doc #54088 [ReO->Wfx]: Some unicode chars not being displayed in IE.

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=54088&edit=1 ID: 54088 Updated by: aharvey@php.net Reported by: rquadling@php.net Summary: Some unicode chars not being displayed in IE. -Status: Re-Opened +Status: Wont fix Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem Operating System: N/A PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: This appears to work fine in IE on Windows 7 and later. I fear that if we change this to Z, we'll just get another bug saying "it's ℤ", so let's just leave it and wait for older versions of IE and Windows to gradually die out. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-12-06 14:45:21] rquadling@php.net Using ℤ or ℤ is the same thing. Just different encoding. Encoding isn't the issue. IE8 (and maybe other versions of IE) doesn't automatically substitute the font. Only real option is to use Z and not ℤ, I think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-12-05 23:26:23] frozenfire@php.net This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-12-05 23:26:13] frozenfire@php.net Automatic comment from SVN on behalf of frozenfire Revision: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/?view=revision&revision=320469 Log: Replaced Zahlen literal with character entity.

I've no idea about older versions. Ah, on my XP SP3 box I have the same IE8. There is also no Office (and thus no Arial Unicode MS) on this box. And I can reproduce the issue. IE is not showing the "ℤ" and Firefox is showing it ("Cambria Math" is installed). Regards, Carsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-02-24 17:19:34] rquadling@php.net Using Windows XP SP3 (my local machine) and a Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Edition (One of my VM-d dev servers - used for php-src) using IE8.0.6001.18702 also. On Windows Server 2008 Enterprise (another VM-d dev server used IIS7 Development) using IE8.0.6001.19019, the ℤ is shown. Cutting and pasting from a working IE into MS Word reveals that the font is Cambria Math. If I do the same exercise with Chrome and Firefox, the same font. Doing this from my local IE8 (where the incorrect glyph is displayed), the copied data is pasted correctly and shows as Cambria Math. So it seems to only be IE8.0.6001.18702. I've no idea about older versions. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
