Bullet Points and some Dashes

The developers have updated our ZenCart, but is in staging. I'm noticing that there are lots of bullet points, dashes, extra spaces that in our original 1.3 ZenCart weren't a problem. Now I've a hundred hours of editing to do if we let this go as is. Is there a way to resolve this without re-editing?

Thanks in advance,

Ron

We'll have to see the site to advise.

This is a typical occurrence.

Re: Bullet Points and some Dashes

It looks like you may have an issue with character sets and conversion between them (UTF-8, etc.). I can't help with fixing that, but that's the area I would investigate.
