konqueror rendering problem with unicode
I am part of a documentation team that created
http://www.plplot.org/resources/docbook-manual/plplotdoc-html-0.3.2/escape-sequences.html
and associated pages with DocBook 4.1 XML. I don't understand all the
details, but the guy who prepared this particular page tells me he used
unicode to represent the Greek letters. Mozilla (M18) renders the page
without problems, but konqueror renders all the Greek letters (see Table at
the bottom of the page) with question marks.
I have some preliminary questions I am hoping this list can answer before
deciding whether or not to send a bug report to KDE about this bad
rendering.
(1) Is unicode part of the www standard or is it some proprietary feature
that mozilla happens to render? I understand there is a web site somewhere
that can be used to check a page for www standards consistency. Anybody know
the URL for that checking website?
(2) Is Konqueror supposed to support unicode or is this a known and perhaps
even deliberately missing feature?
(3) If deliberately missing and/or if unicode is not a www standard, what is a
better standards-compliant way to specify Greek characters?
(4) If konqueror supports unicode, how do I configure it so that it will render the
Greek letters?
TIA for your help with these questions.
