Eve,

I know of two possibilities.  I had funny behavior with my Linux web browser, too, but have been able to fix it by installing "webcore fonts".

http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Font-HOWTO/fonts.html - documents
http://www.alkalay.net/software/webcore-fonts/ - packages

I have webcore-fonts-1.3-1.noarch.rpm installed on my box now, but see the link above has newly updated packages.

Regarding the webserver, you might also check your /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and see if you have the following line:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

You might have to experiment with that line, or try removing it completely, and restarting the httpd package with each change you make.

Hope this helps.
-Chris

Has anyone seen this problem?
We just updated our web server to and SL4.4 OS.
The version of httpd is
httpd-2.0.52-28.sl4.x86_64

Some web pages that were made with web editors on the Windows side
don't display properly. Special characters like single quotes, double
quotes and even slashes come up as question marks or boxes etc.

These pages used to display correctly with our old web server (
httpd-2.0.46-61.ent ..Redhat Enterprise Linux 3)

I am using the identical browser that I had before. It really seems to be
a web server issue.

Do I need to install more fonts on the server?
Other suggestions?

Thanks,
Eve
