But rolling the version back is highly unlikely due to the security vulnerabilities (shown at http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2012/11/stable-channel-release-and-beta-channel.html ). You can do a local rollback though, pulling an older version of the port from an archive (CVS/SVN/web) and rebuild it. I noticed midori-0.4.7 which uses webkit-gtk2-1.4.3_1 from ports works fine with LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 (characters Chinese spam showing correctly). It also works fine with chrome-23.0.1271.64 on Ubuntu 12.04 with LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 René > > On 11/13/2012 21:54, Yuri wrote: >> I also see this.
