Since this is working on NT, I believe the entity stuff in the parser is not the problem. It's likey either a font bug or a char mapping problem. Either way, I think you guys should own this.

Works for me on 4/5 build on US NT4: <UL> <LI> &amp;mdash: &mdash <LI> &amp;#8212: &#8212 <LI> &amp;ndash: &ndash <LI> &amp;#8211: &#8211 </UL>
Chris Petersen, this looks fine to me under Mac OS, NT, and 98. I've put a test case at the URL indicated above. However, using linux I don't see the dashes. Could you please verify this? (I used a late March bulid on linux; I'd prefer you tried with a newer build...) Thanks.

This bug is specifically for Windows. Please don't mention Linux here. Open a new bug for Linux, if necessary.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Chris Petersen, I'm going ahead and verifying this as fixed (and opening a new bug against linux).
