Just seeing what these looks like (if anything).

Big ugly wingdings on my system (Win98, IE5)

Quite cool, if not universal across all systems.
Win 98, IE 6.0

Yep, the webdings are ugly but the wingdings are interesting.
Maybe I can use this one D next time Mangetout suggests Atomic Badger Racing :stuck_out_tongue:

The wingdings just show up as letters for me, but the webdings work.

I’m beginning to get the impression that Mozilla is a little too standards-complient: It doesn’t do anything unless the standards say it absolutely must. Rather annoying.

I gotta ask. . .

Just how in the hell are you folks doing that?

Enquiring minds wanna know.

Tripler, kinda like this:
C is done with following code: [FONT=wingdings][SIZE=8]C[/SIZE][/FONT]

Dangit. Apologies for smegging up the thread formatting wi’ the chilli parade.

Luckily, this version of vB only messes up the offending post, so I’ll just leave it up there to embarras the hell out of you, TheLoadedDog. :wink:

No sweat, Dog, I’ve eliminated a dozen of 'em for you.

… and just as I said that, Dex comes in to save the day.

Nobody likes a smartass, Dex. :stuck_out_tongue:

… and my ass isn’t even the smartest part of me, Coldie.

Cheers Dex. Typical of Coldie to want to leave my post clogging up the thread. :smiley:

And in a twist of irony, on my home computer (Netscape 4.something), I can see the Wingdings, but not the Webdings.

Sigh.

Mozilla 1.2.1 on XP pro. Both work fine.

It would seem to make sense (to say) that it’s a question of which fonts you have installed on each ‘puter and nothing to do with which browser you’re using.

If that is correct, you can download either of those fonts free of charge from any number of online resources.

Mozilla 1.3 on Linux and I neither see nor want to see the dings.

(If I want to see a dingbat, I’ll watch an All in the Family rerun.)

Same as Derleth. No dings for me, just really big letters of the alphabet.
