they could be using (`) below the esc button, left of the number 1 button instead of (')

not sure about str_replace but try $tex = str_replace("\'", "'", $tex);

Also, apostrophe in question looks different in the form field. It's not straight like I'm used to seeing. I've asked the client if he is using a text editor with 'non-ascii characters' (no expert on that one).

The client entered the text into my content management system using a mac and the problem was occuring on 'single quotes' as busy experienced. I tried something like this:

$tex = str_replace("'", "'", $tex);

...which didn't work, could preg_replace be used instead?

Thanks,

i had the same problem few days ago (just happened to single quotes), never found a fix but think it something to do with the combination of strip_tags(), htmlspecialcharacters(), and add/strip slashes() I was using, in the end I just used preg_replace as I want to stop the use of symbols etc as well
this was just on windows xp running apache/php/mysql

Hmm.. I'm no flash guy. But I think small boxes occur when characters are not supported in a font (incomplete character set). Are you using a font that is known to be installed on Macs?
