I purchased coffeecup html editor attracted by the library functions. I used this and was happy with the result until I looked at some of the pages on my website. I have since corrected the problems manually with notepad++ taking a few hours. I must say also at this point that notepad++ highlights for example <div> and the relevant </div>, so good to use ! You need to do similar ! The problems are that any occurrences of 1/2 shown as a single character seem to be replaced with the strange character of A with a funny mark over it. Also, while a dollar sign is OK, a £ ( that is a pound sign if it gets corrupted in this text ) gets corrupted. There is obviously some problems with the fonts. I am surprised that coffeecup seems to struggle with commonly used fonts. I do use the usual ones, nothing strange. I am so disappointed with this. It is not much use to me.

What fonts are you trying to use David? Are they Web Safe fonts, Google Fonts etc? For characters like "1/2" you should be using the HTML entity for something like that. You would replace that with &frac12; or &#189;. That goes really for any special character.

As to the other issue, you can find instructions here at http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … y-website/ on how to address this.

Highlighting the div would be good.

Your other point about corruption applies whatever prog you use. One reason is copying and pasting in text.

£ is always strange all you do is replace it with &#163;

To make this easy within the editor there is a tab down the left called characters with all these codes.

Yes, OK now. First time I have heard about these html &frac12; things.

Thanks
