Re: Wing Dings Part 2

To all:

I don't seem to have any trouble at all with my IE-5.5. When I view the page
in question, the browser renders the default serif font that is set in my
browser. And--as far as I can see by viewing the source code, the serif
family is exactly what is supposed to show with the Body tag.

Obviously, many will have different looks and/or fonts. After all, you can
go to Internet Options, and under the General tab, set any font you want.

Obviously--whatever the problem might be, it is certainly not universal.
