It turns out that CCS2 specification has some control over font layout and rendering and even substitution of Unicode ranges. See examples at bottom http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#q47
It might be that specifying this for Firefox would cure the problem, as its default (intrinsic) stylesheets may be restrictive for box-drawing characters. You can experiment locally by saving the HTML and the CSS next to it (or with <style> tag) and tweaking them to see if it would work. ----- Original Message ---- From: Oleg Kobchenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Beta forum <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2006 2:35:19 PM Subject: Re: [Jbeta] Unicode and Box Drawing font for Mac I tried to tweak Firefox too without success so far. It may be related to the notion of extended width for asian unicode characters, while the box drawing appears in the upper areas of Unicode, which might cause the confusion. ----- Original Message ---- From: Brian Schott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Beta forum <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 12:18:33 AM Subject: Re: [Jbeta] Unicode and Box Drawing font for Mac Sweet! Now the BoxDrawing Issues page can be edited and refined for Safari, at least: http://www.jsoftware.com/ jwiki/EditingGuidelines/Character_Palette_--_Box_Drawing/Issues To get FireFox to see DejaVu fonts in FireFox Preferences|Content I had to quit and relaunch FireFox. Then under Fonts & Colors I clicked on the Advanced... button, and then DejaVu fonts appears. But then using your hivu.css in jwiki/UserPreferences does not accomplish the desired boxdrawing behavior in FireFox, still.
