I haven't looked further into this yet. 17-Jun-2010 11:58 PM DARIN MARSHALL : Engineering has provided the following feedback regarding this issue: This is visual confusion between the small rho (U+03C1) and rho symbol (U+03F1), as opposed to capital RHO (U+03A1). Looking at Times Roman sources, the glyph for small letter rho is shaped like the model on the web for rho symbol http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/03f1/index.htm. Times does not contain a cmap entry for rho symbol btw. This is expected behavior for the design of Times Roman, which has been around for 80 years. rho and rho symbol are the same letter. Some typefaces choose to distinguish them by use of gothic versus cursive styling. In the case of the font on the web, they use the gothic for small rho (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/03c1/index.htm) and the cursive form for rho symbol (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/03f1/index.htm). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
