Looks like it's using WingDings or >WebDings for the font. This is a weird bug that I encountered a couple of years ago. Check and see if you have a font installed called something like "Map Symbols" or "MT Map Symbols". For whatever reason, this is classified as a "serif" font, and it isn't marked as having an unusual encoding. For whatever reason, it comes to the top of the list of serif fonts, and the stylesheet for that page just specifies "serif". Map Symbols thus gets selected, and renders the page unreadable. The XSL page at the W3C used to have this problem, too. Whoever makes that font should note its encoding properly. This is unlikely to happen any time soon... CSS probably ought to have a generic font family for non-letter fonts, though this is a difficult call given the wide range of characters in Unicode. In the short term, Dave could list some specific fonts ahead of the generic "serif" fallback. ~Chris - -- Christopher R.
