The other HTML file is just a hidden frame containing javascript code. (I explained this when I sent the first version, and my assumption was that only people having the first version would have been interested in the second one.) _ Marco

Doesn't happen for me. All plane 1-16 characters appear as 2 missing glyph characters (rectangles). Another IE peculiarity - no characters display at all if this is the first (only?) document open. I had to open a web page before the characters would display.

Ideas? No ideas, sorry. Unluckily this kind of things is totally dependent on the browser and its concept of "being standard". I too noticed some weird things with my version of IE and Arial Unicode MS. For instance, characters U+0080 to U+009F show the glyphs for Windows cp1252 (euro symbol, etc.), although an HTML numerical reference like &128; should always be interpreted as Unicode (and, beside that, the file's character set is explicitly set to something different than cp1252). Another funny example is with plane 1 characters (U-01 to U-01), that are folded to plane 0 characters. So, e.g., U-010300 (OLD ITALIC LETTER A) is shown with the glyph for U+0300 a (COMBINING GRAVE ACCENT). Curiously, the same thing does not happen with characters in planes 2 to 16 (U-02 to U-010) _ Marco

Re: Javascript Chart
In Windows ME, works in IE5.5 but not in Netscape 4.7 or Mozilla 2001021204. So I doubt it would work in say Linux (I haven't tested it, but might be able to later on). In IE5.5/ME, it works for me not only with different fontName values, but even with a list (e.g., var fontName="Arial Unicode MS,Lucida Sans Unicode" ). Of course, the list simply uses the first font that's available, regardless of whether the font contains any number of the characters being mapped (so if one has both fonts, and puts Lucida Sans Unicode first, code points that LSU doesn't provide glyphs for are displayed as artifact characters (mostly boxes)). Good job. Next time, though, I'd suggest using CSS rather than the deprecated element.

Ideas?

Well, how's that for clever! Thanks. Not the fastest thing, but useful nonetheless. I did try to change the font using the instructions provided, but it didn't seem to work for me (trying to display characters in ver. 3.0 not supported by Arial Unicode MS) using IE 5.5.
