Yeah that bugs me too, I needed a dash once.

This is likely due to sIFR being used for the headline. It doesn't correctly handle unicode without a bit of hand-holding.

Now seems to be a good time to move the headlines from sIFR to @font-face. :)

It already came up, I think more than once.

Can we get kerning too?

Cheers!

This happens because the character didn't get embedded in the SWF.
