Dear friends,
I am using Mozilla Firefox and need to used Unicode characters. I have installed lots of fonts (some supporting Unicode).
Please look first at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Gangleri/tests/Unicode_ISO_8859-1/Table_of... then edit the section and make a preview. The spaces between the characters are different in the preview and what is saved.
The page contains more anchors and sections a.. #char458 b.. #char502 c.. #char544 d.. #char622 e.. #char675 4.1 Note on character 458 4.2 Note on character 502 4.3 Note on character 544 6.1 Note on character 622 6.2 Note on character 675
You may experience the same behaviour there. It maight be that it is a random problem of the browser. Is there a way to avoid this?
Regards Reinhardt

I could see only a single pixel difference in some of the line spacing (which is likely due to accumulated rounding error from the many lines of text above it in one version and not in the other); this difference is not noticeable except by pasting the screen shots op top of each other.
(Tested Firefox 1.0 on Mac OS X 10.3.6)
In the future, please reduce your problem cases to a *minimal* test case and giving more details about exactly what's amiss. Details of the operating system and version are helpful. Screenshots of 'before' and 'after' are very helpful. Testing on other computers is extremely helpful.
