Are you typing in wingdings? Maybe I don't have that installed and that's why I am not seeing it.

Same here. Looking at his code, he's certainly using wingdings, but it seems the forum (or something else) is defaulting it to something readable.

If it follows normal web thingy standards, it should go to next font on list if you dont have wingdings installed.
Of course scripts, add ons and non windoze computers could change it to just about anything; I guess I just shouldnt write in wing dings :|
(and quoting shows the text in clear for those that do see the wingding)

I am not sure what font this is selecting, but it's not the next in line cos the next in line is another 'ding' type of font.

I shut off Stylish and GreaseMonkey, and in FireFox, under both skins, the wingdings show up as regular text. So, I load up IE, and presto! I see the wingdings.
So, it's a FF v. IE thing.

Update: Did a little research and it seems Wingdings are the leprosy of the Net.
Since MS's 'wingding font' has never been accepted as a Net standard, it's use is severely frowned upon. It conflicts with Unicode; non-Windows OSs don't have access to it (Unix and Mac); and browsers which play by the rules and don't use it (FireFox) won't display it.
There is a fix to make it display in FF if you have it installed on your computer that easily found with a Web search, but the policy gurus seem unified on this: Don't use Wingdings; use the iconography available in Unicode instead.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

Awesome! The only problem now is that now I'm actually seeing Kitsune's Comic Sans font, so I do in fact want to stab myself in the eye.

The tag just creates a Code block, but everything in it remains identical to how it would have been outside of the code block, and smaller symbols like the dash get horribly smushed together. I noticed someone posted an HTML table before, but since I haven't coded in HTML in over five years, that's really not an option for me.
So, is there any way to get my text neatly lined-up and formed into a make-shift table now that the code tag doesn't do what it's supposed to? P.S. when I say "once upon a time," I mean "on the old forums." |
You're just too nice a guy, Sam.

I used High Logic Font Creator. The free trial runs as if you've got the Professional Edition, lasting for 30 days. The program is a bit expensive to buy, but if you just want to make one or two fonts, the free trial works great.

Replace this:
