No. If the font doesn't have an Unicode table, it's assumed to be CP1252 (I previously wrote ASCII, which was wrong). Nobody should be using such fonts with the assumption that anybody else will be able to see the same thing. Unicode has some dingbats standarized, and these characters will display properly regardless of the target system, as long as the computer has an appropriate font installed (this is a fairly safe assumption on modern computers). ☂ > Well, the same people that made IE also made Windows.

You're assuming the wrong environment, which is in this case Internet. -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://eternallybored.org/ > [ The Bat! 4.2.13.7 ALPHA on Windows 7 6.1.7600. ] There is no traffic until you start to back out of your driveway. -- First Law of Driving ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 4.2.13.8 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
