Since it is my newsreader that is corrupting it, it is the fault of the
newsreader, and therefore not within my jurisdiction of a problem to
fix.
Nope. You continue to post illegible garbage in your sig, and it's
annoying. I would think it would bother you as well.
If there's a problem with your newsreader, have you reported it to the maintainers? Have you considered using a different newsreader, or
finding a workaround, or changing your sig?
The bugreporting system for the software does not allow anonymous
reports.
I cannot use another newsreader.
Changing my signature is not an option.

How so? What is the difference between you and people who use other newsreaders? Is it genetic or environmental? Nature or nurture?
Changing my signature is not an option.
Getting rid of a garbage signature that nobody can read is not
an option?

I don't think that's the case. Here is a test post using the same
newsreader and something that is probably close to what you want in your
sig. (Yours is too messed up for me to work out exactly what you want
it to look like.)

Pan is open source. You may not have the skills to fix it, but doing so
is in your jurisdiction (though I may have not understood what you mean
by that).

Do you mean the problem is not with Pan after all? "The software" is deliberately vague and I don't know why Pan would be saving the
signature file. It just reads it as far as I can tell.

Is it saved in a file? Can you not restore that file from a clean copy?
Is it possible that your locale settings are causing your newsreader to misbehave?
No, i just have principles that i stick to.
If your principles require you to inflict garbage on the rest of us, you should reexamine them.

I should have replied to this bit earlier: it intentionally does not use
the polebar character because the spaces required on each side of each
would make the first line not fit the standard format.

No, the problem is definitely with Pan. I don't know why it would be
saving the signature file either, but it is.

It seems to be saved in an XML file at ‘~/.pan2/posting.xml’
I looked through various settings and found nothing that i could change
to fix the problem.
Create a separate sig file with your UTF-8 text.
Then go into your posting profile and change the sig type from "text"
to "text file". (It's a drop-down menu.) Then, select the sig file as
your sig file.

Polebar? You mean pipe?
You are being anal about kerning, but you are happy to post with a sig
that no one can read and doesn't format correctly.
I think Ben has shown that it doesn't.

I think BMH is not using a sig file. The bottom line is that pan can
do what BMH wants, but he's doing something that does not work.
Unfortunately his explanation is unhelpful because his sig (as posted)
is not getting "more and more corrupted" so it's not at all clear what
he's seeing.
I've tried /not/ using a sig file and that also seems to work. The posting.xml configuration file /is/ written every time pan closes, but
it appears not to be getting corrupted.
According to my understanding, one of his requirements is automatic attachment of random rude phrase to the end of the signature.
Does your solution handle that?

Since you have utf8/ipa working, I don't suppose you could say how to pronounce your surname? I know I get it wrong. I'm pretty sure I don't
even get close.

In English: 'bækəriːs, in French more like baka'ris. (IPA looks horrid
in most software because a mixture of fonts is often used.)
