Description:

In help files, bullet points render incorrectly in core-8-6-branch.

a. in headers

b. in the core of the help text

I'm attaching snapshots.

They rendered correctly in 8.6.10, see the same help file as my attachments here.

This is not an issue in the particular help file I give as an example. It can be seen is any help file containing ".IP \(bu"

Fix confirmed, it works! Thanks!

Finally, I found the cause, actually in tools/tcltk-man2html-utils.tcl. Fully fixed now

It looks like "•" (•) and "•" (•) are rendered differently in browsers, even though those two should be exactly the same symbol.

Anyway, fixed now in core-8-6-branch and up.

Thanks!
