Konqueror, UTF-8



I find that Konqueror (3.1.2-1.1, current Debian unstable) does not cope
with UTF-8 web sites very well; it displays some characters well, and
others not, even when Mozilla Firebird on the same machine (in the same
KDE session, using the same fonts) can display them all correctly. An
example of such a site can be found here:

On my system, if I bring this page up in Konqueror and Firebird side by
side, Firebird gets the Greek characters right, and Konqueror trashes
some of them. I can also see the Greek correctly on Windows XP with
either Mozilla 1.4 or IE 6.

Changing locales seems to have no effect; I have tried both en_US and
en_US.UTF-8 (the latter of which is my usual locale).

I don't see any outstanding bugs related to this. If no one knows of a
configuration change that would fix this, I can file a bug.
