Quoth Thomas Dickey, 'def7_uni.tbl is used for 7-bit approximations. It's not the same as iso-8859-15 (or iso-8859-1).' I guessed that, but speculated lynx used it for other character sets that lack characters lynx renders: why reinvent the wheel? Whence does lynx get renditions for characters not in a character set? mdash isn't in iso-8859-* but lynx renders it as -- ; neither is trademark (™), which lynx renders as (TM). I've also changed the mdash entry in SevenBitApproximations[] in LYCharSets.c (Why have it in 2 places?) The same happens for trademark: I change it from (TM) every place it appears to trdoff but it still gets rendered as (TM). russell bell
