212238 - Certain fonts won't display correctly in properly DOCTYPE'd XHTML

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 90643

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[Aaron Schaefer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

The two symbols 'û' and 'Á' should appear as their Webdings equivalent (a global
map, and a keyboard).  It appears that you can still display Webdings or
Wingdings fonts, but it reverts back to the generic character when the DOCTYPE
is declared properly for XHTML 1.1.  This wasn't a problem in Mozilla 1.2.1, and
only arose with an upgrade to 1.4.  A screenshot of the correctly displayed page
can be found here: http://home.insightbb.com/~aaronschaefer/correctfont.jpg

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load a page that has declared "Webdings" or "Wingdings" as the font
2.Also make sure that CSS is working correctly
3.

Actual Results:  
The page displayed the characters 'û' and 'Á' instead of the Webdings equivalent

Expected Results:  
It should have displayed the characters in the font specified by the CSS file:
http://home.insightbb.com/~aaronschaefer/layout/master.css
thus showing a picture of a global map in the upper right section of the page,
and a picture of a keyboard to the left of the second paragraph of text.
