Firefox bug displaying quotes in "Times New Roman"
Bug occurs in "Times New Roman", on Windows.
This is in fact a bug in the "Times New Roman" font itself that is shipped with Windows.
IE deals with it.
Firefox did not, but now does.
- single quotes:
- 'test sentence'
- 'test sentence'
- double quotes:
- "test sentence"
- "test sentence" - end double quote is displayed above last character of string
- "test sentence " - workaround, but still not quite right on Firefox - also looks bad on IE
- two single quotes:
- ''test sentence''
- ''test sentence'' - workaround, looks good on IE and Firefox
- This is a known bug:
- 573407
- notes this is a bug in the font itself
- 589682
- says Firefox in 2011 will include a workaround
- Workaround - use stylesheet to specify different font
- Solution - Firefox in 2011 now deals with it
