Gecko ignores the ™ trademark entity -- it just doesn't render it at all.
See http://frank.44444.com/ for a sample page which uses it; another is
http://www.securemed.com but that currently causes a crash (separately filed
bug).

™ is listed in the HTML 4.0 entity list at
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html

This is certainly not a layout bug...

Interestingly, Navigator 4.08 doesn't render this either. Where are character
entities expanded, in the parser?

Actually, under my 4/25/99 build of AppRunner, the tradmark entity DOES render.
So, evidently this is fixed already. I tried the following:

<HTML>
<BODY>
<P>This is a &reg; symbol.</P>
<P>This is a &trade; symbol.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Both ® and © show up. The URL's mentioned above also work.

Fixed in April 25th Builds (Mac and Windows). Fixed in Linux April 26th Build.
On my April 26 Linux debug build, it renders as an asterisk in
http://frank.44444.com/ and is ignored in http://www.securemed.com/.  Trying on
an Apr 27 build before reopening ...
Status: VERIFIED → REOPENED
Same thing on the Apr 27 Linux build: http://frank.44444.com/ shows it as an
asterisk, http://www.securemed.com/ ignores it completely.  Reopening; this may
be Linux only, will check on NT when I get a current build.

Looks like it works on NT as of the middle of last week.  Changing platform to
Linux.  It may be that the parser problem is fixed and this is now a rendering
problem?  But I'll let you decide that.

Ramiro -- this looks like a linux font issue. Can you please look at it?
Resolution: FIXED → ---
Summary: trademark entity ignored → [PP]trademark entity ignored

created and attachment.

sample looks identical on communicator 4.5 and the latest seamonkey build.

so im thinking its a x font problem.

reassigning to erik@netscape.com for a clue.

erik, if you have no idea, send it back to me and ill dig.

thanks

The trademark character is one of the Windows extensions of ISO 8859-1.
Unix only has the standard 8859-1 characters, not the Windows extensions.
