Mateusz,

Thanks for researching this.

Well its not IE8 that is the problem but IE7 and IE6. IE8 works fine, but not sure what font we are using.

I think I’ll stick with images for now though because the smiley face I wanted and the checkmark with box worked in Firefox, Chrome, and IE8 (not IE6 and IE7), but the PDF refused to render them (though it rendered the regular checkmark.) I forget what the unicode I was using for those were. There is probably an equivalent compatible docbook one that I could look up. I’m kind of attached to my new make-shift hand-crafted T face though :).

Took me forever to figure out how to get that far in Paint.NET.

Though something like this would have been way cooler

Berend, thank you very much for this suggestion. I passed it to Regina and Kevin.

A short survey shows that only the “Arial Unicode MS” font includes checkmark glyphs. Apparently Firefox has some kind of fallback mechanism in case a certain glyph does not exist.

Short story: Use “font-family: Arial Unicode MS, sans-serif;” and you’ll be fine.
