The same thing happens with the current development version (r10808).

Never used Menu > ViewSource, but F8 works fine here using
NS2.6

But so does mine - just not where jim has his bullet point.

Mine is The System Font, not 'a system font'.  But we must stop this here,
as it's off topic for this list.

Strange, the system font supplied with this M/C has a full set of characters
including bullet points, pound sign etc. I use it by default, it may not be 
pretty by is clear and unambiguous (no confusion between 1 and I or L etc)

Strange, the system font I supplied with this M/C has a full set of characters
including bullet points, pound sign etc. I use it by default, it may not be 
pretty by is clear.

NS2.60 and F8

[Roger Darlington]

this may be normal behaviour for any program (??) :

If I use F8 to view a (local) HTML page in NS2.60, and I edit it, when 
I come to save it, it has not got the correct save address.

But if I instead Menu > ViewSource, then it does have the correct save 
address.

over-written text on Wiki NS2.60.

[Roger Darlington]

when NS2.60 is used to view this Wiki page;

Then the text and one or two graphics is over-written near the bottom

Displays them correctly if set to 8-bit, but doesn't display these other
non-ASCII characters which, like the pound sign, should not be used in
e-mails for fear of upsetting elderly gentlemen like me with a tendency to
pedantry, or confusing others.

You'll be using "smart" quotes next!

I use a system font to display in Pluto, as is my right.
^^

It does not have 'bullet points'.  If I did use a proportional font, I
would lose all the ASCII artwork and any emphasis or pointing using the '^'
character would be misaligned.  But there is no guarantee it would have
'bullet points' in the same place yours does, or even at all.

'Ah', I hear you cry, 'but the system font is so awful to look at!'.

Not if you use a variant such as is available from:

http://irene.williams.free.fr/software/

- second item.

So you can't blame Pluto, even if you were pre-disposed to do so.

Of course, it's much more complicated than I've outlined, but to be sure,
only use ASCII plain text, or, if you need to, set to eight bit and add in
the standard accented characters.  But go further than that and you will
lose some people who will see strange characters amongst your text.

I wish Help file writers would realise this!  I once wrote a little program
to strip these rogue characters from otherwise plain text Help files.  I
would then resave the files to avoid the problem next time!
