I'm using Chrome 3.0.195.21, and have long found that some characters
in Wikipedia render as boxes. One example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_with_stroke renders as "<box>
(minuscule: <box>)..."
Now, I looked at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Special_characters
and the advice is not very useful or specific: it says that "Special
symbols should display properly without further configuration with ...
Safari and most other recent browsers." I tried installing Gnu Unifont
and setting it as the default browser font, but that seems to be
overridden by MediaWiki anyway?
So anyway, I'm asking two questions:
1) What can I do to get more special characters to render correctly in Chrome?
2) Could/would anyone improve [[Help:Special characters]] to make it
clearer, more specific and correct?
Thanks,
Steve
