I am, using Mendozite on Joomla 2.5x. I have one word that appears in a variety of articles and the first letter is being changed from the desired capital letter to a lower case value. If I use either a strong tag or a hyperlink tag the issue goes away. When I look in the database I see the capital value correctly stored there. The word is a brand name called “Quillix.” In all cases it needs to be capitalized. It does not matter which article, all of them produce this error.

You can see it here:
http://www.ufcinc.com/MuWave-QSX-Modules-and-Products/muwave-ocr-qsx Search for the word “quillix.” You will see that when the unicode trademark symbol followed the capital letter was produced on the browser.

There are a variety of plugins on this site. I tried turning off various ones with no difference. The database collation is utf8_general_ci

The site uses the Remository glossary but the glossary pop-up is disabled. It also uses the Tortag tag tool and I turned this off and it made no difference.

It would be great if you can include a screenshot for illustration, it would help to understand the issues and give you specific suggestion.

I switched the template on your site to Beez5 – Default, but I could not see the problem you mentioned.

Here is what I see in various browsers, this is from Chrome, others in our company have confirmed the same thing. Notice the word “Quillix.” Since it’s a brand name in every case the word is capitalized in the article but when it appears it shows with a small “Q” unless it is enclosed in a hyperlink, strong tag, or has a unicode trademark symbol following it.

I too changed the template and the issue remains, so it’s not a template issue. This is an interesting issue when it only happens with one single word. I can add other words with a capital “Q” in the article (any article for that matter) and they work correctly. So the issue isn’t with the capital Q but with the word “Quillix.” The Joomla database shows the correct capital letters in the article. But they get rendered as a small q.

As your site uses many plugins now, I’m not sure which plugin converts the capital Q to small q on your site. But I did help you to set the configuration from Content – Glossary Popups plugin as the screenshot:

The front-end site is working with the capital Q in this word “Quillix” now.

It turns out that this is not an issue with the Glossary component as Martin Brampton verified himself just yesterday (thanks Martin!). The issue is somewhere in the Joomla core, both in 2.5 and 3.3. The Glossary only fixes the issue when you use the glossary content plugin. FYI
