I run a (dynamic) statistics edu site that has a lot of special
characters in the content. The old version (the site I inherited)
had a lot of symbol font. When I chanced on this I would usually
change it to the html code for that character. I have users who now
say they can see one but not the other, and vice versa, and some not
either... they look like other chars, or squares... whatever. What
is the standard protocol on the web for dealing with this sort of
thing? I don't "own" a symbol font as creator so I don't know if
it's legal for me to offer it as a download... I can refer to
upgrading browsers but it'd be nice if it were simply readable for
everyone ... am I dreaming?? -- PJ
