Gecko ignores the ™ trademark entity -- it just doesn't render it at all. See http://frank.44444.com/ for a sample page which uses it; another is http://www.securemed.com but that currently causes a crash (separately filed bug). ™ is listed in the HTML 4.0 entity list at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/sgml/entities.html

This is certainly not a layout bug...

Interestingly, Navigator 4.08 doesn't render this either. Where are character entities expanded, in the parser?

Actually, under my 4/25/99 build of AppRunner, the tradmark entity DOES render. So, evidently this is fixed already. I tried the following: <HTML> <BODY> <P>This is a &reg; symbol.</P> <P>This is a &trade; symbol.</P> </BODY> </HTML> Both ® and © show up. The URL's mentioned above also work.

Fixed in April 25th Builds (Mac and Windows). Fixed in Linux April 26th Build.
On my April 26 Linux debug build, it renders as an asterisk in http://frank.44444.com/ and is ignored in http://www.securemed.com/. Trying on an Apr 27 build before reopening ...

Same thing on the Apr 27 Linux build: http://frank.44444.com/ shows it as an asterisk, http://www.securemed.com/ ignores it completely. Reopening; this may be Linux only, will check on NT when I get a current build.

Looks like it works on NT as of the middle of last week. Changing platform to Linux. It may be that the parser problem is fixed and this is now a rendering problem? But I'll let you decide that.

Ramiro -- this looks like a linux font issue. Can you please look at it?

The trademark character is one of the Windows extensions of ISO 8859-1. Unix only has the standard 8859-1 characters, not the Windows extensions. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=454 Marking DUP of 454. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 454 ***
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Agreed. This is a duplicate of 454.
