Windows 10 Font Problem

I upgraded to Windows 10 on Monday morning. It went surprisingly well. I had a few issues but they seemed to require minor tweaking or downloading new versions of existing apps. Now I am down to some of the more intractable issues.

The current issue deals with different web pages replacing some characters with others. I got rid of most of the question marks in a diamond but not all of them. The following passage is from a FR thread and is meant for illustration only. I have turned the offending characters red.

You might think that it’s (should be the word 'italics') the fact that a majority of Muslims in ‘67 Israel spit on the Two-State Solution and that PLO boss Abbas rejected the Oslo Accords in a speech at the United Nations.

Found your problem!

SweetiePalm says you are years too late to find any of my problems. ;-)

Thank you one and all for your comments and attempts at humor.

I have found a work around for the problem. This is not a fix but it will do until one comes along.

It seems not all characters that work in Windows can be properly interpreted by HTML5. I replaced the appropriate letter, say é with the appropriate text string that HTML5 can interpret. In this case, &eacute_; (remove the underscore).

As you can see from my signature block below, it works until a solution comes along.

I found the solution here.
HTML5 “A numeric character reference expanded to the C1 controls range” error when using “_;(remove underscore)

Thanks for the explanation. I knew it was a accented character issue, but not the cause.
