Another Special Character Bug???

[Bundy]

Pekka,

I've noticed another special character bug visible at
http://www.imageworksgallery.com/list.php?exhibition=14&u=21|0|...

The artist John Horton has an image called "Go Fast Interdiction" that shows up fine in both list.php views, but in the photo.php view a special character appears in the page and image title names.

If you look at the photo.php view of "Go Fast Interdiction", you'll see that in the page title it changes to "Go Fast Interd-iction" and the image title changes to "Go Fast Interd<caron>iction". I can't figure out where the - and <caron>
come from...

Do you have any suggestions?

Haven't been able to figure it out yet myself.

OK, noted - I think I know why it is there. Will fix it.

Pekka:

I see a similar problem but only on Mac browsers (IE and Safari). When I use a hyphen (as in Ring-necked Duck) the Mac browsers display the hypen and change the "n" after the hyphen to an "ne" (with accent mark over the "e")

If you have access to a Mac, here is an example: http://www.calvorn.com/gallery/photo.php?photo=4299

Everything is fine on PC browsers and when I put a space before and after the hyphen the problem goes away.

Thanks.

The soft hypnen character is such a difficult issue (see http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/shy.html ) that I think I'll drop it alltogether. It is extremely usable character when browser like IE does NOT display it but merely uses it as hyphen point when string does not fit in page. But as said, some other browsers show it which is not good at all.

I'll have to think some other method of splitting very long words on titles.
