Thanks for catching this error.  I tried again with content, and
it made no difference.  (I think I had tried it both ways and
inadvertently pasted the wrong one in my example here.)

I agree with what you say: Browsers *should* make a strong effort
to display entities, and should switch font if necessary.  This
should require no effort on the part of the user.
