Chrome on Ubuntu doesn't display special characters in words like Bo͞oyä when displaying. It works in Windows and Android. Also when typing the characters they look good, but not when displaying. Right now as I am typing this question, it shows right in the text-area but not in the preview below. Why? All works fine on Firefox on Ubuntu.
I asked this on Ubuntu forum but they pointed out that the problem was with Chrome. They are right. So where to post if not here?
Any solution?
Older browsers may not support all the HTML5 entities in the table below.
Chrome has good support. But (currently) only IE 11+ and Firefox 35+ support all the entities.

Mozilla and Edge
Any help will do. Thank you.
Chrome version 58.0.3029.96 (64-bit)
Firefox version 53.0 (32-bit)
Edge version 38.14393.1066.0
Found already the solution for this issue. I use the standard font family for Japanese characters like MS PGothic and now i dont have problem anymore with the spacing.

In a particular html file all "ti","fi","tt" characters are missing while viewing (The characters are there when we view it in inspect element).
eg: "Solution" is miss spelt "soluon".
Sample screenshot
The same html works well with FireFox. The above issue reproduces in Chrome and Safari.
Version
Chrome version : Version 50.0.2661.94 (64-bit)
Safari version : Version 9.0 (11601.1.56)
Kindly help me to sort this out.
The above issue occurs only in - webkit web browsers like chrome and safari - which provides support for ligatures - whereas browser like firefox does not.
A ligature is a combination of two or more letters joined as a single
glyph
Root cause
This issue with missing characters is due to ligature support provided by these modern browsers - let me explain how
1.The tool while converting - it converts characters to glyphs using poppler for rendering - now these browser when they come across characters like tt tf ti ff fi consider them to be ligature and searches for glyphs corresponding to tt and not t t
2.Since they do not have their corresponding glyphs - they just skip the characters and renders the rest - so, we fount the characters missing
Could be solved by
Disabling/ Turning-off the ligature in these browsers - embedding the css in the generating content
For more details please refer:
Prevent ligatures in Safari (Mavericks/iOS7) via CSS
Please correct me if I am wrong.
So I found this site to make some silly text. I see this. Now I have a bunch of fonts installed that should allow me to see this (DeJaVu, Arial Unicode, Quivira, etc) and I tried various encoders too. I have no issues in Firefox and Chrome works on my MacBook but on my Windows 8.1 PC it just won't show. I am able to see this thing: » which some people have trouble seeing. And I tried incognito and still not working. Am I doing something wrong or what?
Have you tried installing the font Code2000? If that doesn't work with Chrome, try Code2000 in the newest IE (where I confirmed it work).
I got a really strange problem, and after so much tries and research I can't get out of it.
I have a website, but SOME (just 5% of visitors) people with the SAME version of chrome, see the text flowing out of divs and text overlapping. It's very strange because I tested the website on all chrome browsers using browser testers, without any problem. And in internet explorer or firefox this problem never happens...
A page is located here
And here are some screenshots of what SOME people see (maybe you won't see this in chrome)

Maybe it is because of the font face I am using? Or maybe some bad coded CSS?
Please help me out of this!
Thanks a lot!
I see you use .svg font. Recently I was hunting some Chrome font rendering bugs and saw this:

This seem very similar to issues you are having. You could try to serve some other font type to Chrome and if this would fix that.
If you don't want or can't serve some other font type to Chrome, the only thing you can do is wait until Chrome version 24 is out to all users which should be soon (I can't find any announcement)
I tested it in
Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m
Chrome 26.0.1371.0 canary
Chromium 25.0.1334.0 (169326)
# Windows 7 x64 and your page seems fine for me.
Hello my website http://www.paruhdice.com/index2.html is not acting as it should be. It worked some what fine in IE 8. And works perfectly in the latest CHROME and Firefox... but my sliding navigation is not even responding. What should I do? Prompt users to use CHROME or FIREFOX... or is there a fix to this? Thanks ahead of time
It seems to be working for me in IE 9.0.8112.16421 as well as the latest Firefox release. The left-hand navigation bar moves smoothly with the window as I re-size.
Unfortunately, HTML5 is not a fully implemented standard, so you won't get full support in any browser. IE9 was also released back in march and both Chrome and Firefox have made great strides since then to add more support for HTML5. Doing a quick web search I came up with the site, http://html5test.com/results.html. It certainly gives an interesting overview of your current browsers support for html5 as well as the ranking of other browsers by comparison.
Since it all ready sounds like you are telling all of the old IE, Safari, Firefox users to update to view your site, I see no reason to tell them some features don't work and you recommend they upgrade.
