172280 - symbol font not being displayed by browser

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 33127

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect)

Description

[Thorne Sutherland]

I am using version 1.0.1 and formatting web pages to display various symbols. I
use an external style sheet with the following definition:
.symbol {
	font-family: symbol;
	font-size: 13pt;
}

I then use <span class="symbol"></span> as my formatting within the page. This
works with Netscape 4.7x and IE however, with Mozilla it inherits the default
paragraph font.

Attachment: A Winzip file containing graphic, style sheet and html file depicting bug

This is a simple HTML file using a minimal style sheet to show this bug. A
graphic has been include to show what the result should look like, or the file
can be displayed using Netscape 4.7x or Mickeysoft IE.
