Hi Zulema,

I like this neat table:

I took a quick peek--looks like a good quick reference. I didn't see an explanation of what information is given by repeating an entry, in parentheses, with different styling, and showing superscripts for the footnotes.

What does the repeat-in-parentheses mean?

I believe it's to show the name of the font in case the font is unreadable in certain browsers.
For excellent example, in the Symbol line the first two show up literally as symbols in WinIE--like
Greek characters--but in WinFF I see "Symbol" four times: [Symbol, Symbol (Symbol^2 , Symbol^4 )].
Same for Wing/Webdings/Dingbats, I see funny characters in WinIE but not in WinFF. So the
parens are to show the name of the font in case it shows up funny on your browser. ;o)


ciao,
Zulema
