252287 - Unable to display a text with the "Symbol" font, even in a W3C compliant page (FF 0.9.2fr)

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 33127

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[YS1]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; fr; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; fr; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When I use the "font-family" CSS directive (or the old FONT tag) to display a
text in Symbol, it is displayed in the default font. Using the same directive to
display Arial works, and everything works in MSIE6.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write a W3C-compliant HTML page which use the Symbol font
2.Load it in FireFox 0.9.2

Actual Results:  
The page is displayed incorrectly.

Expected Results:  
Some texts should have the Symbol font.

This is not supposed to work as you intend.  See the dup'ed bug.
