305775 - Camino displays amounts preceded with the £ currency symbol on this site incompletely/incorrectly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 248304

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Fenn-Smith]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050427 Camino/0.8.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050427 Camino/0.8.4

When I log into my online banking account via the above URL, the main summary
page has the currency amounts incorrectly displayed:  - e.g. £14,582.02 appears
as ?582,02 and £95.29 appears as ?29  .  The same thing happens on every page
where amounts appear.  On other browsers, either the site won't talk to the
browser (e.g. Safari) OR if it does, (e.g. Firefox) the amounts are displayed
correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I simply login to my online banking account
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Everything went OK - same as with Internet Explorer for Mac - until I got to the
account summary page.  Most importantly, the site WILL ACCEPT Camino as an OK
browser.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the currency amounts with £ symbols and thousands comma-separators

Our old friend bug 248304, this is fixed in the current nightlies (downloadable
from http://www.caminobrowser.org/ ). Alternatively you can fix this by changing
the text encoding of the page (View->Text Encoding-> , you probably want
Western(ISO Latin 1)).

I agree this bug is fixed in the latest (2005081904 (v0.9a2+)) Nightly Download.  However, for me, the 
suggested workaround in 0.84 (select Western(ISO Latin 1) text encoding) doesn't work.
The UK Natwest online banking website is very choosy about which browsers it will work with, especially 
with Mac browsers.  Although Camino is not on the list of supported browsers, it doesn't get rejected 
and most of the functionality seems to work OK.
