Google Chrome and LC diacritic display

[Riesner, Giles W.]

For what it's worth, I'm still on XP (I get a machine wit Win 7 on it
sometime this Summer or Fall) and saw the same situation IE8, Firefox
13.0.1

and Google Chrome 19.0.1084.56 m.  I also checked using Safari for
Windows 5.17, which rendered it properly and Opera 12, which did the
same

as Chrome.

 

Unfortunately you have no control over what browser your patrons use
outside of the computers in your library, so some of them may

have difficulties with the diacritics regardless of which font you
choose.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Google Chrome and LC diacritic display

 

So IE and Firefox display most LC diacritics just fine, but I can't get
Google Chrome (w/autodetect or UTF-8 encoding) to play nice.  What's the
trick?
