No racism intended from my reply. I was thinking that the OP's question originated in rare mathematical symbols. I recently helped in such an issue on the OpenOffice.org list where the OP wanted to know how to get a "R" glyph with a slash superimposed on top. No single unicode glyph exists for this but there are a range of glyphs which can overlay others including the slash. Vary rare request. Often with math formulas, browsers produce broken output and it is as much of an issue as languges though less common. In my understanding with languages the user has adequate fonts loaded on their box but the web dev pretty much can only offer sans-serif or serif to them and hope that the box/browser is well set up. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
