More Firefox font rendering bugs

[ewx]

http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/junk/cc.html in Linux Firefox:

Windows Firefox is not really any better:

IE7 gets it right:

Konqueror doesn't even try:

I don't have Safari to hand right now.

I guess for best results send precomposed characters to the browser, and put up with bad rendering where none are available l-(

(These are the Firefox and Konqueror from Debian etch.)

DisOrder's users are largely native English speakers so will almost certainly prefer accents to be disregarded when comparing the search terms they typed with the track names, even if the words themselves aren't English. For one thing many of them will be unsure how to type accented characters in the first place! The worst effect is a few false positives in the search results (since there's currently no way of saying "and not this word").

Germans should be fine in any case; the standard rules case-fold ß to ss. Turks who haven't got used to the rest of the world's treatment of I will have to regenerate its mapping tables with the T mappings included, there's even a comment in the Perl script at the place they need to change.
