The tips shown in the navigator window don't display special characters, such
as em-dash. Instead, a rectangle is displayed -- typical for unavailable
glyphs, but with the decimal character code displayed in the rectangle. In
the case of the em-dash this is 0097. Checking the tips file the actual
encoding is C297 so the C2 is getting lost? If I cut & paste from the tip
window to, say, vi, there is certainly just the 97.

But C297 is 38850 (16 bit unsigned, little endian) or 49815 (big endian) --
the Unicode value used in PgS is 8212 (0x3502 ?)

I've checked and the three fonts used for general display (Arial, Sans Serif
and Courier New) all have the em-dash so I don't think it is a font
definition issue, but how the text is being interpreted and displayed.

Does anyone have an idea as to what I can do to make this display correctly?

C297 is probably a UTF-8 encoded value. I'll look and see what is happening
to the encoding.
