Is Form Feed ever a character that a font renders? It’s whitespace, after all. And (hard to be certain on the phone) this “website” is likely just a text file.

Is Form Feed ever a character that a font renders? It’s whitespace, after all. And (hard to be certain on the phone) this “website” is likely just a text file. Maybe Firefox just does not like form feed in general.
That emacs displays form feeds as the Control character ^L (which it is) is also normal, and if you just curled the file confirms that it’s just a plain old text file.
- majewsky 7y agoYou're correct: FF is not a printable character. But I'm seeing the same issue with Firefox on Windows (with some monospace font). I suspect that the issue is what Firefox complains about in the developer console: The file does not have a defined encoding. In fact, the Content-Type header is completely missing. I guess that those replacement glyphs are just Firefox playing it safe in the face of uncertainty regarding the character encoding.
