> 21 Mapping text formats to HTML/XML > 21.7 Mapping fonts > 21.7.7 Accommodating browser font-rendering differences
Some browsers (Opera and Safari, for example)
do not support OpenType and TrueType fonts. Mozilla browsers (Firefox,
for example) support these fonts only when you use <font>
tags. For example, you cannot get Firefox to render a character in a
special font such as Webdings or Wingdings unless you enclose the character
(using its standard ASCII equivalent) in a <font>
tag with the face
attribute. For example, you
would need the following code to make Firefox display a Wingdings square
bullet:
<font face="wingdings">n</font>
You could direct Mif2Go to use <font>
tags:
However, this workaround is not effective for Opera or Safari, and might not be reliable for any non-Microsoft browser. A better solution is to map any special characters to their Unicode counterparts; see:
§21.6.5 Mapping individual special characters
§21.6.6 Mapping characters in a special font.
