Mark — thanks. I have noticed these special characters showing up over the last week or so.

So are you suggesting each user perform this operation on each post they read .. or each block of text they post .. or what? I am confused as to what you are suggesting.

First of all, I'm not mandating that anybody does anything. For myself, I like for articles I post to be as legible as possible. I enjoy reading articles that are legible as well. So if I can take a couple of steps to make sure that the articles are more legible, then so much the better. But I'm not trying to impose something on anybody.

Having said that…

I'm thinking it would be appropriate for articles...at least...so that they'd be legible.

For comments, I don't think it's as necessary.

Hopefully John will be able to fix the problem at the server side so that this isn't an issue, but in the interim, this would work. Using the Geany application to convert those special characters only takes a few seconds once you've installed it, so it's not too much of a hassle.
