Perhaps you need to put on your thinking cap rather than drinking cap (joking) and *read* my posts that mention this font renders fine on my SeaMonkey versions (2.3.3 and 2.4b1) in linux, but for some reason fail to render in those same versions in Windows. Get off the nonsense regarding "especially Micro$oft" (which I see that you seem to be using with: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0.2) Gecko/20110902 Thunderbird/6.0.2 (odd that you can't use SeaMonkey to post in a SeaMonkey newsgroup) and realize that Ray may indeed have a valid issue. Its *not* "about a cute graphic" but rather whether certain fonts render properly in SeaMonkey, both in html mail /and/ the browser. I still /think/ that it's a configuration issue; if you go back to the UTF-8 font issue last year "Unicode fonts" it was obvious after some testing that simply installing the proper font resolved the issue. I do understand that the Windows systems do have the wingding font installed (as do my linux systems), but my point is that the issue may simply be a configuration setting. Either way I think your response was off base. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
