Installed Dingbat font won't display in Firefox
I installed a dingbat font to decorate my chapter headings. The dingbats displayed correctly in IE and in the LIT file I generated using readerworks. However, it did not display correctly when I opened the html file in Mozilla Firefox in the same computer.
So for Chapter 1 instead of Dingbat 1 dingbat it showed up as M 1 m I'm new to html and would appreiate some help. |

Thanks, I also used Frontpage to make the html file. Maybe that has something to do with it? Oh, and Firefox version is 3.5.6.
Code:
<style> body{ font-family:"Georgia", serif; } h1{ font-family:"Bookman Old Style", serif; font-size:300%; text-align:center; } span.decorate{ font-family:"Nymphette"; } </style> <body> <h1><span class="decorate">e</span>1<span class="decorate">f</span></h1> </body> Last edited by autumnmoon; 12-22-2009 at 12:52 AM. |

Nymphette is the exact name of the dingbat font in question? And it's installed? I don't see why this shouldn't work. I sure as heck can't see why it would be "M 1 m" rather than "e1f".
I used your code... adding only <html> and </html> at the beginning and end, and <head>... </head> before and after <style>...</style> (which I assume you had elsewhere), and changed the font names to ones I had installed, and it worked just fine in Firefox 3.5.6 for Ubuntu. |
