[Deniska]

can confirm that in 1.6 release. in natinal charsets '−' is shown as '?'.
and I can't see any other way to add non-breakable '-' sign....

This is actually a bug in the OS/2 decoders.

They don't properly convert that unicode character on a number of codepages (the
question mark means OS/2 didn't know what to convert it to).

This will be fixed if we ever move to use Mozilla's codepage converters.
