Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 193404

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Mike]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible)
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.1

Please don't blame me for the FF version used,
got too old pc (Win98).
<p>

Yes, this is a correct "up arrow" symbol:
<font face="Wingdings">&#233</font>

<br>

<div id=Problem>But this looks like a bug in FF: </div>

<script>
  var X = document.createElement("font");

  // while "Arial" or "Comic Sans MS" does change the font!
  X.style.fontFamily = "Wingdings";

  X.innerText =		// IE
  X.textContent =	// Moz
  String.fromCharCode(233);
  Problem.appendChild(X);
</script>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try it in FF
