David, I've pretty much always respected your advise/posts. However in this case I think that you are way off base (unless I've misinterpreted the meaning of your response). I've already posted (multiple times in this thread) that the fonts/smileys render just fine for me with linux. I've also posted that they, for some reason do not in Windows (SeaMonkey 2.3.3 and 2.4b1). I have hundreds of fonts installed on my systems; all properly licensed and paid for btw, many of which are proprietary (Adobe fonts, etc). It seems to me that the primary issue is that SeaMonkey (for some reason) is not rendering the wingding fonts in Windows - it *is* for me on *all* of my linux systems. I maintain that the issue is most likely a configuration issue & will try to do comparisons between the two. Therefore IMO Ray has a valid question and issue. *If* SeaMonkey xyz (in Windows) is not rendering the wingding fonts (and they could of course be any other proprietary/open fonts), then (again IMO) there *is* an issue. I think the best course of action is to not chastise him for the post, but instead help try to figure out why. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
