Cannot render special HTML character with Java
I'm pretty sure this is a general Swing issue, please don't ignore this because I reference JavaHelp. When using JavaHelp and French as the displayed language, I'm having problems displaying the œ character (HTML entity &# 156;). Below I've included a sample HTML file, based on what my actual files looks like, which should demonstrate the problem. If I use a browser, or even Notepad, to open this file, the character displays just fine. However, in my JavaHelp popup (which uses Swings HTML renderer under the covers if I am not mistaken), all I get is a box. I've tried using the actual character and the HTML entity, but to no avail. Comments/suggestions/pointers would be greatly welcome!
