I’m curious how this looks to everyone else. On my linux box and my windows box (both running firefox) the unicode and the del tagged text both look the same. ---

On mine, using chrome, the lines are at slightly different heights, so my last post (which used both) appears to have two lines through it. Also, the strike-through on DrDeth’s version is in line with the vertical bar of the T, whereas mine is flush left with the horizontal bar of the T. ---

Also, the strike-through on DrDeth’s version is in line with the vertical bar of the T, whereas mine is flush left with the horizontal bar of the T. Seems to be a Chrome vs. Firefox thing. If I use Chrome on the same windows box as above it displays exactly as you describe. ---

Unicode/del tag/Unicode: T̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶[del]test[/del] ̶t̶e̶s̶t̶ Firefox, Win 7. The del tag gives a line that is thinner and above the Unicode. Use ctl-+ to increase the font size to see it. ---

Interesting. It looks thick on everyone except for **kayaker** and **Ethilrist** using Firefox on my Linux box.
