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
