Hi,
I'm on Fedora 17, using a German locale. Since today's yum update the German umlaut 'ü' is not displayed for some sans-serif fonts on some web pages anymore. Interestingly enough that's purely a display issue and both Firefox and Chrome are affected.
The yum updated updated two fonts (lohit-kannada-fonts, wqy-zenhei-fonts) which I manually uninstalled but to no avail.
Interestingly the problem seems related to HTML headlines (<h3>, <h2>, ...) but not regular text.
I saw the issue on multiple sites
How can I debug that issue? Anyone else with a similar problem?

How about providing a few links to demonstrate the problem.

Most likely, because a different font is used for each (even if not readily apparent, because they look the same).

For example: - http://python-verband.org/community - http://spiegel.de
Even when I modified the CSS (with Firebug) to use just the font-family "sans-serif", the umlaut doesn't show up.
But I realize that this is very likely a machine-specific issue (installed fonts, fontconfig, ...) which is why I asked for instructions on debugging. Are there any troubleshooting guides for such things?

No problem here (F17). Besides some german, I'm reading a lot of swedish, danish and norwegian articles, and I've never encountered a single problem with its special characters (ä, ü, å, æ, ø ...).

I'm using UTF-8 both with Firefox and for the whole system.
[htd@wildsau ~]$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" [...]
And so on...
Try http://www.bt.no , can you properly display the norwegian special characters?

Same here, (F16) if you need another data point.
Did you try looking for localization in Yum /Apper / Whatever? Maybe your system or desktop localization is not complete. See if it is not a lack of fonts to read and write well in Deutsche. See at your desktop configuration (KDE always gives me strange surprises about this). See in Firefox Settings what languages are preferred. Usually is English. The same for Chrome. See what fonts they use by default, may be is a font problem. Report a bug. :-))
Hope this can help you Lailah
