How odd...that HTML does *not* work for me using FF 1.5.0.4 under OS X
10.3.9. I still get horizontal and vertical bars instead of card suits.
I tried about a dozen different fonts (mainstream like Helvetica and
Palatino and some offbeat ones too) and got the same in every case, so I
get the feeling this is not a font issue.
May I ask for your FF version and platform?
