Details

A simple HTML file with "€" in it doesn't display the euro character; it
displays what I think is the tab character. The same file displays correctly in
4.5x and MSIE 4.x.

Sample HTML:

<html><head></head><body>&euro; is the Euro symbol.</body></html>
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

Frank -- The parser see and processes these correctly. It appears to be a font
rendering problem. Perhaps you'd like to fix this?

petersen, could you verify again about this bug. I cannot reproduce this in my
system. It is possible a fix I check in in Layout last week fix this problem.
The fix I check in is to fix the case a non-ASCII only in the position of the
beginning of a *word*. Before my fix, a word which have non-ASCII in the first
character and first character only won't display that character correctly. The
euro sign along is one of the case. (NOTE: The problem is in nsTextTransfomer,
mHasMultiByte does not get turn TRUE when only the first character of the word
is non-ASCII)

I will mark this fix since I cannot reproduce this in 3-15 build on Window 98.
Please verify and reopen it if you can reproduce this on window 98 w/ a version
later than 3/15. Thanks.

Looks good to me on Mac OS 8.5, Win NT, Win 98. March 16 build.
According to Chris Pratt, updating Win NT with service pack 4 will resolve the
Euro character problem. Windows 98 and 95 have simular solutions.
Originally, this problem was reported against NT 4 SP 4 and Windows 98, but it
was fixed at some point.

If anyone else needs to regress this bug, note that whether or not you'll have
the Euro character available for seamonkey depends entirely on your OS. Clean
installs of Mac OS 8.5 work. NT 4 Service Pack 4 works. Windows 98 should work.
Other OSes will need vendor-supplied patches or updates to work correctly with
the euro character.
