Symbols not being rendered correctly
Some of the symbols in the code blocks are not being rendered correctly on my browser (Safari on macOS 14.4.1). One example is shown in the screenshot below from Appendix C2.2. This issue does not seem to occur consistently. Some of the unicode characters (in fact the same character as in the code chunk displayed) does render correctly in other places on the same page. This issue also happens on Chrome for macOS.
I'm not sure what is behind this problem. We are seeing it even more in development versions that use https://github.com/PumasAI/QuartoNotebookRunner.jl as the evaluation engine for Quarto documents with Julia code blocks. It may be worthwhile testing if the JuliaMono font, https://github.com/cormullion/juliamono/ helps. It provides more Unicode glyphs but, as you note, the same character is rendered properly in other places.
@ajinkya-k I have done some minor software updates and republished the website. On my end, things are looking better -- can you check whether that holds for you?
@palday Thanks! That particular one did get resolved! There is still one in the same section (see image below). Just out of curiosity: what changes did you make? Also, I wonder if this rendering issue is because a pre-release version of quarto is being used?
I updated to the absolute latest quarto pre-release and QuartoNotebookRunner.jl releases.
Hmmm, still seeing some unknown characters in the model output for https://embraceuncertaintybook.com/intro.html#sec-dyestuff2lmm
This behavior also happens when I render them on my local repo, including the exact same places in the text where these characters appear
It looks like there is a fix coming upstream: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/pull/9740
Has this change been incorporated yet? I installed quarto 1.5.45 and I still get character rending issues.
Quarto 1.5.45 should have installed version 0.11.1 of the QuartoNotebookRunner package. with commit hash 0rtVI

You may need to reevaluate the code blocks to ensure that the latest version is used. In the EmbraceUncertainty directory run
rm -r docs/ _freeze/ .quarto/
quarto render
For me that produces a document without any gliches in the output blocks.
This worked! I had run quarto render again after updating but I had not cleared the existing html files, so it was using cached versions.
Looks like the symbols are rendering correctly on the website. Closing the issue.
