Lighthouse has a new layout. Prefer the old one? Return to the old layout, and switch back any time from the link at the top of each page.

The front page has a high-ASCII character that doesn't render on Windows

#5

The "Save, Share, and Discover" front page has one of those characters that don't render correctly on FF, Win 7. It looks like an o with an accent mark.

It's the character between "gross ones" and "then share" in "The silly ones, the sweet ones, the cool ones, and the gross ones—then share them with your friends and family".

I imagine an em or en dash was intended. I suggest using an HTML entity instead.

Admittedly, this is a pet peeve. Something in OSX-land lately has been causing this more and more lately, on the Web at large.

    aside: Lighthouse is full of these fun characters. All the smart quotes look like i's with hats.

    It is an entity. See attached screenshot of source.

    Is there another reason it might be mis-interpreted on your browser? We're looking at it on our virtual machines and it renders correctly.

    It appears this might be an issue with the actual Windows version of Helvetica Neue. Moving this to open.

    Closing this since we are working on a new page and this won't be relevant (we hope!)
