Actually I think it does. If in WinXP where the smileys are displayed as JKL on SeaMonkey, and then I copy & paste into LibreOffice (again in WinXP) they are displayed properly and I can easily determine that the font pasted is wingding. Note: I'm running WinXP in a virtual machine (WMWare) on the same linux machine so it's easy to switch desktop windows to compare etc. > > You've now confirmed that I have the same issue about which the OP > (Ray_Net) complained -- your browser displays column one correctly using > the nonstandard Wingdings glyphs, but his and mine substitute the > standard Unicode glyphs from some other font. > Now here's something interesting... if I compose an html email (Compose|Compose in HTML) on linux (I'm using 2.3.3 for the testing), I can select Wingdings as a font to use. On Windows (again SM 2.3.3) the dropdown doesn't show Wingdings at all, even though it is installed and used by other applications (aka LibreOffice, OpenOffice etc.). So it's definately an SM issue with the Windows version. Can someone test on a MAC? Also note that the windings font I am using in linux is the exact same wingdings.ttf file used in WinXP, in fact that's were I got it from (WinXP). I simply copied the file from WinXP and dropped it into my ~/.fonts folder for use on linux. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
