Subject: w3m: misinterprets &shy; by drawing hyphens everywhere

Date: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 01:48:21 +0200

Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-5.1+b1
Severity: normal

w3m seems to handle ­ worse than the gecko family. Rather than
ignoring ­ which results in readable texts w3m puts expands every
­ to a hyphen. The correct behaviour would be to remove ­ and
otherwise insert a hyphen if and only if a line break improves text
flow.

Similarly w3m expands ‌ to something that displays as a question
mark on my xterm. As w3m requires monospace fonts character joining is a
non-issue and ‌ and ‍ should also expand to nothing.

An idea for a patch would be modifying entity.c:66 conv_entity to return
an empty string for some special integer value to be chosen and then
modifying entity.h to map these entities to the special integer value.

thank you

The attached patch should care of "­". It does not work if the SOFT
HYPHEN character appears verbatim in a properly-advertised Unicode
document.

As of 0.5.3-2, the question-marks you reported for "‌" and "‍"
appear when LC_CTYPE (or LANG) is set to "C". If I leave LC_CTYPE set to
en_US.utf-8, the proper characters are emitted, but neither xterm nor
urxvt render them.
