    Dear kriesi-team,

    I would like to do soft hyphenation for some long words (not automatically) on this site http://www.christinbacher.at/.

    I read that the code for Soft hy­phens ­ should work good, but i get ugly results with strange glyphs in Chrome (Version 29.0.1547.62) e.g. visible on the page “Profil”.
    In Fireworks and Safari it looks well.

    How can i make soft hyphenation work in Chrome?

    I look forward to your response,

    Christin

    Hi!

    It might be a problem with the font. Did you try to select another google font? Afaik not all fonts support all characters/glyphs and the strange symbol seems to be a placeholder character.

    Regards,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,

    thank you for your reply.

    The web font on this page counts 235 characters and was tasted in Chrome, so I think it is not font related.

    I used the soft hyphenation with “­” wordpress and non-google-webfonts before on this website http://www.bissmann.at/, and it works well. So I thought of asking, if it is theme related. And if you have an idea how to display it correctly in Chrome?

    Your help is much appreciated!

    Best,
    Christin

    Hi!

    I don’t think it’s theme related. You can also choose a standard font or another google font and then you shouldn’t get this issue with our theme too.

    Regards,

    often you can use instead :
    &#173 and behind the 173 a semicolon

    try it

    i had now the same problem because i want some headings to break on certain points but on special Headings the ­ does not work

    sorry the code above is translated allthough it is set in to code tags so there is that stupid instruction

    oh pardon me- i was looking for a similar still actual problem.
    On special headings the shy did not work !!!

    so i give my two cents to it.
