    Hi there,

    I experienced funny behavier with “ü”, for example: http://www.eifelbildverlag.de/ein-riese-namens-heimat-streifzuge-durch-den-deutsch-luxemburgischen-naturpark/
    Scroll down with Firefox to: “Natur als Brückenschlag” and you’ll see the dots are not sitting on the u.

    This happens to more than one Website.

    Any ideas?

    Cheers,

    Sven.

    Hi Sven!

    It’s a Firefox problem/bug with special characters encoding, one thing you can do is use the umlaut HTML code, i tested this and it does the trick:

    <h2>Natur als Br&uuml;ckenschlag</h2>

    – i use Dreamweaver ans a texteditor to clean… (not working)
    -> after variuos time copy and paste from one to anot
    her editor and use the (Text only) to insert.

    It works ^^

    i have this sometimes when copy/pasting text from customer files.
    Perhaps a pdf or docx Dokument.
    Overwriting on editor solves my problems.

    What does that mean exactly?

    “Overwriting in the editor solves my problems.”

    I have this problem again and again and would like to have a solution for it :-)

    “Natur als Brückenschlag” and you’ll see the dots are not sitting on the u.

    Well Word f.e. seems to use “combining diacritical marks” : u and ̈ are shiftet together to an ü
    see what happens with a copy pasted ü from word in a “real” text editor erasing one letter after the other (6letters here)- it looks like an ü – but isn’t:
    https://webers-testseite.de/diaresis.mp4

    copy/pasting texts from word will sometimes end in this looking then: u ̈

    try the paste as text field in text-editor

    Unfortunately, that does not work. But I found out that it is the PDF text. When I open the same document in Word and copy the text out there, it works. So I should always ask customers for open data and reject PDFs.
