I've just upgraded to Firefox 1.5.0.3 and noticed that the unicode heart symbol (♥) no longer displays properly. It displays as a thick vertical line ( | ) instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Go to website which uses unicode symbols (e.g. http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/miscellaneous_symbols.html)
3. There is no step 3.
Actual Results:  
Unicode symbols such as ♥ display as | instead.

Expected Results:  
Unicode symbols such as ♥ should display as a ♥

Displays properly:

Firefox 1.5.0.2 for Mac OS X, Firefox 1.5.0.2 for Windows, Firefox 1.5.0.3 for Windows

Doesn't display properly:

Firefox 1.5.0.3 for Mac OS X (Universal)


Tested with extensions enabled and disabled.  Tried restarting computer, too.
