Details

does NGLayout only display ascii characters? In the above document the quotes and apostrophes are comming out as the wrong character (square box). The charset that I am using is windows-1252. This problem does not happen in previous versions or in IE.
Summary: quotes + apostrophes comming out as wrong character → NGLayout doesn't support windows-1252 charset
Changing summary to reflect problem. To find the character in question, search the source for the word "Infoworld" and you'll see a special type of quote character used near that word. Do we support any other charsets yet? I think is part of the larger i18n issue.

I've put in some temporary code in the html parser to convert 8 bit ascii into ucs2 assuming that the character set is the windows character set. I'm reassigning this bug to catalin so that he has a bug to fix when he gets his character set converters working :-)

we should change our ISO-8859-1 To Unicode converter to implement "cp1252" to Unicode converter instead. It should be done easily by using the table driven converter.
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.
per leger, assigning QA contacts to all open bugs without QA contacts according to list at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser
