I wonder if any Netscape 6/7 users have experienced this --
Take a look at this Sample Image
These are screen captures of an isolated part of an HTML text page. The upper half is how the text looks normally when viewed in most Browsers. However, in the lower half - viewed thru Netscape 6/7 AFTER a certain site or function is accessed (see below for culprits), certain text characters are not properly represented. (Note that the 2nd line of the upper half gets grossly streched out over two lines in the lower half).
The altered characters are, of course, special ALT characters that you get by holding down the ALT key and dialing a 3 or 4 digit code on your keyboard's numeric keypad.
Available ALT-Key special characters are in the 128-255 (or 0128-0255) range.
In this example, the characters in question are the » (ALT 175) -- « (ALT 174) and ¡ (ALT 173).
The bizarre phenomenon has occured (in my experience, anyway) on two occasions - When visiting the Vivisimo search engine, as well as using AOL Instant Messenger. It's AFTER you go to either of these that the phenomenon occurs.
If you leave Netscape (and AOL AIM) then come back, pages with special ALT key characters appear normal once more -- that is until you go back to Vivisomo, AOL AIM (or whatever else may cause this) again.
SO--have any other Netscape 6/7 users experienced something like this -- where the characters get replaced with the weird ? mark block symbol?
