I was mistaken earlier. I had it set to use my fonts rather than page fonts (the selection was under advanced).

I've seen that many times, too. I'd hazard a guess that's down to things like webauthors copying and pasting content, across different systems, using dumb software that doesn't transcode (or even know that it has to). And the importing of external data. If it's automated, it's not going to be noticed by human eyes. And people are poor at proofreading, these days. I should have added graphics stuck in your cache, too. If your cache isn't supplying previously downloaded graphics because of a browser bug, or webserver crapology, that can resolve itself once the cache refreshes (auto expired data, culling of cache space, etc). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.

When the browser tries to find the font, it goes to the local machine. I am using noscript, and block that site.

Well, to even start to debug it, you'd have to mention some particular webpage addresses that are failing. Commonly, things like that are down to missing characters in fonts. They were present in the font the webauthor used, but not yours. And for things that did work, but now don't, it could be that the font has changed (installs on your side, or, the author picked a different one). Related to that can be the author using bizarre characters. They've picked some unusual thing that looks like what they want, but it only appears in some fonts. If they'd picked the normal symbol for such a thing, it'd be more widely supported. Character encoding schemes can come into it, too. If they've used UTF8, but erroneously said their page was using 8859-1 (which can be done as a meta statement in the HTML, or the webserver's HTTP headers), it's going to fail. Or, if you've forced your browser to use a particular scheme, instead of obeying the website's instructions. And, as you said, it can be down to missing graphics. The website may have used a graphic symbol with a text fallback.

Invoking it is not the problem (just say 'xelatex yourtexfile.tex').
But I'd be surprised if this solved your problem. First, xelatex is
not exactly tex, so you'll probably have to change a few things at
least in the preamble of your document. Second, you need a font with
the soccerball character in it. If I had this problem, I'd use google.

include unicode chars in TeX/LaTeX documents
Dear fellow fedora users,
In including a soccer ball character in Unicode, I have found
https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/26bd/index.htm
And it works. I try to include in latex document and the character does not
show up. I have tried different variations
after \documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
And none seem to work. Is there an easy way to include Unicode chars in latex.
Best Regards,
Antonio
