Description

[rbs]

If you visit the URL, you will see the problem described below.
It is due to the following errors in that page: 

   <td colspan=1 align=right ><font class="wmnow">42&#176F</font></td>
...
<td width=17% align=right ><font class="wmhigh">45&#176F</font></td>

etc.

They should be using: 
&#176;F

        I have looked at Netscape 6, Mozilla milestone 0.7 and 0.8. With all of
these releases, if I go to www.mycnn.com (with essentially default
font/language/encoding settings)and log in to my account, the degree
symbol for the temperatures in my home town are replaced by question
marks.

        I also just went to www.yahoo.com, and all the dots in between the
links were replaced by question marks. I fiddled with the
font/language/encoding settings, but nothing seems to change the
question marks to the intended symbols (that always properly display in
Navigator 4.X). Is this purposeful? Is there a way to get Mozilla
milestone 0.8 to display them the way they were meant to be?
