Description of problem: The URW-fonts package in Fedora 7 erroneously includes font metadata which uses the ogonek (a Polish diacritic, ie an accent) as U+FFFD the replacement character in Unicode. This probably happened as a result of a bug in some non-Unicode capable software years ago. However it seems to be fixed in the latest version of these fonts, which I linked as the URL for this bug report. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): urw-fonts-2.3-6.1.1 How reproducible: This is a bug in the data, it is 100% reproducible for me Steps to Reproduce: 1. View a web or other document which uses the URW fonts 2. Find somewhere where corruption or other error introduced U+FFFD 3. Look at the glyph shown Actual results: Notice that it appears as a curious comma-like accent, the ogonek! Expected results: It should be a question mark in a diamond or similar glyph as specified in Unicode. Some other fonts provide such glyphs, if they do not then fallback provides such a glyph from another font. I suggest that simply updating to a newer version of the upstream font package should fix this problem.
Oops, I forgot to mention that the specific fonts affected by this bug were URW Gothic L, Nimbus Sans L, and Century Schoolbook L Other fonts were not affected by this erroneous glyph
This problem is fixed in Fedora 8, with the package urw-fonts-2.4-1.fc8
