Hi, I have an issue with one of my dicts, the LDOCE5, I think it´s a deprecated Lingvo version (dsl).
The syllable separator won´t show as it should, as you can see in the screenshots (first was uploaded by eneji at the pronounce icon topic, second is mine):





When I copy the word, it shows up properly: con‧spic‧u‧ous < tiny dots
On GD it will show some vertical bar symbol similar to the pipe character (|)...

Any clues on this one?

You need to set a proper unicode font that provides those symbols.

For example, Arial Unicode MS.

Here's how, in article-style.css:

Code: Select all

body
{
  font-family: Arial Unicode MS;
}

Very nice, it´s fixed. Too bad that the default font won´t provide that symbol, I like it.

I just found out Meiryo font is Tahoma with unicode support.
"Meiryo's Latin characters are basically Tahoma, unlike the other two fonts."

BTW, this is a nice font viewer: http://us.fontviewer.de/

I´m using Meiryo Bold on GD.
