> My alternative is to use bitmaps but that has several drawbacks. You could of course use MathML, which doesn't entirely free you from worrying about installed fonts but does provide a more robust way to access mathematical typographic requirements. Although simple cases you may be able to get by with just accessing the foints and using textual markup using mathml rendering, which is built in to mozilla/netscape and freely available as a a behaviour extension for IE (MathPlayer from Design Science). You could then access Z as <mi>ℤ</mi> or <mi mathvariant="double-struck">Z</mi> > Are there any fonts available to render this and other math symbols > defined in Unicode?
