Yes, it could be. BTW, if the source page has an ISO-8859-1 'é' this is surely the problem. > As for the default background: that's up to the browser, not the spec.

The background color can be defined in dillorc (either the global one, or on a per user basis). HTH. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Anyone can remove this bugs? Thanks for the reports. Removed. BTW, BUG#598 is because Dillo doesn't support floating objects yet. -- Cheers Jorge.-

What's bad about that code? HTML 4 is, in the absence of headers or meta tags indicating otherwise, assumed to be ISO-8859-1. The é is perfectly legal there. Given that they show up correctly when I look at that site here, I suspect it's a font problem on the display, not an HTML or Dillo problem. As for the default background: that's up to the browser, not the spec. A basic web design rule going back to 1996 is: never assume what the default colors are going to be -- if you want something specific, set it in your code. Unfortunately, Dillo doesn't support CSS yet, which means you have to resort to setting these in the <body> tag. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org

[Dillo-dev]0.8.3rc1 test

by Florent BERANGER

Hi, I'm Florent BERANGER, from Flonix company (http://www.flonix.com) We like Dillo because it's small and fast :) I've just tested the 0.8.3rc1, the rendering is really better :) Here 2 remaining bugs I've found : - some hardcoded accented characters (for exemple use "é" in the place of "é" in HTML code) aren't properly displayed. - the pages background must be white by default (actually grey). We currently working to port the "crystal" icon set to Dillo. Since done, you'll can add it in icons page :) We are very interested by Tabs support feature. I saw some patchs for this feature. How can we compile Dillo 0.8.3 with them ?
