Hello Matthias,

Evo does not currently support the "style" HTML attribute (it does not support
CSS at all), so it does not apply the font family nor color on the text. I
tried this in the WebKit version I'm currently working on and it worked as
expected - the styles applied, so in 3.6, you might even see the smileys :)

You need to have Wingdings installed, though. There is no free equivalent on
Linux (probably because it is (c)'d, (TM)'d and patented by Microsoft), I had
to copy the .ttf font from my Windows installation, otherwise I saw "J" as
well.

Cheers,

Dan

PS: you can also ask the sender to use Unicode equivalent (U+263A, ☺)
