IE4 does, but not NN4. BUT, you can use <SPAN> and CSS to accomplish the
exact effect as with <FONT> (to show greek characters).

<SPAN style="font-family: Symbol">p</SPAN>

The above makes both IE and NN show the 'pi' character (from the font Symbol).

Nope. Html 4 makes it totally deprecated. Get a good book on the topic,
will you?
