I'm experiencing Safari crashes on startup, i.e Safari launches, then crashes before even showing a single windows. My bookmarks were exported from Chimera, and many of them sport accented characters (pardon my French...); they already had issues when imported from Explorer to Chimera, even more so when brought from Chimera to Safari.
Interesting
What I have experienced while writing Perl script to convert Chimera and OmniWeb bookmarks to Safari is that Safari is more sensitive to certain characters not encoded properly.
I have also written a Perl script
When I was writing mine I had a m-dash character — and the property list format didn't like it. Whenever this character appeared in the property list file I couldn't open it in the Property List Editor.
Interesting
Answering to my own post (I know: lame...): after checking yesterday's MacInTouch, I've experimented a bit and, as noted today, it seems that deleting part or all of the library seems to get Safari back into working condition.
Re: accented characters
Regarding the story:
Only crashes/bugs I've found with my exported Chimera bookmarks were with javascript: URLs and bookmarklets. Regarding UncleAlias' comment: ...when will browser developers think of a common way to display accented characters without mangling them?They don't need to think of one, just use the existing one. Check out What Is Unicode? with Safari, the left menu looks mostly fine (I've removed some fonts from the default OS X install) |
