William's Hot Beverage glyph is actually quite a good interpretation of the character, that displays well at all point sizes. Perhaps he could add a glyph for the Hot Pizza character (U+2668) whilst he's on a roll. But why is the Hot Beverage character listed under the heading Weather Symbol in

There are two problems we have seen with keyboard preferences. 1. Bringing up the force-quit dialog (command-option-escape) can sometimes disable keyboards in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts. This can be worked around by moving them to /Library/Keyboard Layouts. Please let me know if this is part
