Thread: QWebview doesn't show phonetic symbols

    Default QWebview doesn't show phonetic symbols

    Hi,

    i wonder why QWebview does not show phonetic symbols. (Only black squares are instead of symbols.)

    For example this page is OK in ff, ie, chrome:
    http://tlt.its.psu.edu/suggestions/i.../ipachart.html

    But not in QWebview control (Qt/demos/browser application or in my simple test)

    Symbols are unicode characters, and page is in utf8.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    i've found a workaround (html code):
    Qt Code:
    1. <html><head>
    2. <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    3. </head>
    4. <body>
    5. does not work in Qt (only in ff, ie, chrome): &#x251;
    6. <br/>
    7. workaround for Qt: <span style="font-family:Lucida Sans Unicode">&#x251;</span>
    8. </body></html>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    i don't know why, but it seems that every unicode characters work in Qt except IPA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...netic_Alphabet)

    IPA Extensions (unicode range: 0250–02AF)

    Is it a feature or bug?
    If it is a feature how can i switch it off? If it's a bug, please confirm.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    It is neither a bug nor a feature. It has only to do which main font you set. The default font on your system might not support this characters.

    Thanks for reply.

    But the other browsers (ff, ie, chrome) can show it well, on the same computer.
    That's why i think Qt browser does something else, not the system and default font settings...
