WebKit, Gecko, Opera all do this on all OS I've tested. IE 8 + works correctly on WinVista and newer, but I seem to remember seeing failures in IE 8 on Win XP (I was testing with hexagrams at the time - but maybe it was that IE didn't really like my custom made font…). IE 7 and older fails completely. > The specs do not seem to be very specific about the handling of missing glyph > substitution. (1,2) Is the first numbered list in http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html#algorithm not clear enough ?
