some unicode chars display incorrectly in firefox on linux

[raj]

The author displays incorrectly in this book: http://www.openlibrary.org/a/OL2705329A

There is a square character with 0081 in it between the "Ì" and the "ry" in the author's last name.

I am using Firefox 3b5 (default Ubuntu 8.04 browser).

This name displays fine in WebKit, compiled and running on the same machine. It also works on firefox/windows I think.

I'm attaching a screenshot.

The Amazon data appears to be bad. The display on amazon looks the same as what we have.

[Edward Betts (edwardbetts)]

The authors name should be "Antoine de Saint-Exupéry". I've changed the book to use OL2660551A as the author.

We are having problems with our chosen font (Georgia) and Unicode support. Compare the same author in this set of results: http://demo.openlibrary.org:8080/search?q=The+Little+Prince

We are using Palatino on staging.

Critical??

Not sure what a Linux Firefox display bug was marked as critical. (Feel free to dispute.)
