The text in the help buffer appears fine. If I put
the cursor on the first `?' char in the first text line (red) and do
`C-u C-x =', *Help* shows this:
character: SPC (32, #o40,
#x20)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646
IRV))
code point:
0x20
syntax: which means:
whitespace
category: a:ASCII
graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646
IRV:1983[4/0])
l:Latin
buffer code:
#x20
file code: #x20 (encoded by
coding system
undecided-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
uniscribe:-outline-Helvetica-normal-normal-normal-sans-14-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
(#x20)
Character code properties: customize

Space)

Oddly enough, when I paste that text, it
shows `SPC' for the character, but in the *Help* buffer, it has `rob' for the
character. I switched to HTML mail and used a Unicode font (Arial Unicode MS),
thinking that might make a difference, but it didn't.
I then tried a
cents char in the second text line (blue):
character: a (97, #o141,
#x61)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646
IRV))
code point:
0x61
syntax: w
which means: word
category: a:ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646
IRV:1983[4/0])
l:Latin r:Japanese roman
buffer code:
#x61
file code: #x61 (encoded by
coding system

display: by this font (glyph code)
uniscribe:-outline-Helvetica-normal-normal-normal-sans-14-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
(#x61)
Character code

name: LATIN SMALL LETTER
A
general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
There are text

The cents character appears correctly in *Help*, but
appears as `a' when pasted into the mail.
I then tried a section symbol in the first tiny
black text line:
character: f
(102, #o146, #x66)
preferred charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646
IRV))
code point:
0x66
syntax: w
which means: word
category: a:ASCII graphic characters 32-126 (ISO646
IRV:1983[4/0])
l:Latin r:Japanese roman
buffer code:
#x66
file code: #x66 (encoded by
coding system
undecided-unix)
display: by this font (glyph code)
uniscribe:-outline-Helvetica-normal-normal-normal-sans-11-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
(#x66)
Character code properties: customize what to
show
name: LATIN SMALL LETTER F
general-category: Ll
(Letter, Lowercase)
There are text properties here:
face
(variable-pitch (:height 0.8))
help-echo

[back]
Again, the section symbol appears correctly in *Help*, but
appears as `f' in the pasted text above.
Notice that the help text is describing what you see
pasted above, but not what I see in *Help*. For example, I see a section symbol,
but it describes it as a LATIN SMALL LETTER F.
