(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ling Li]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

My system is Fedora Core 1. Mozilla 1.7 doesn't have the problem. Firefox cannot
display greek symbols properly. Firefox on Windows can, though.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the URL  http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/html40/entities/symbols.html
2. Almost all greek symbols are displayed wrongly.

is this working for you on a newer (recent) release?
(it's possibly fixed by bug 121879)

Just FYI: On Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake GNU/Linux, using Firefox 1.5.0.5, the Greek symbols on the page indicated by Li are displayed correctly.
