I would consider using downloadable fonts. I think Bitstream does this... They are supported in MSIE all versions (>=5, even on Macs) and in Netscape 4, but not in Mozilla (there's a bug with many interested for this in Mozilla's bugzilla). Taking one of the fonts with relatively free copyrights, you can apply a tool that will encode it into this downloadable format... Stixfonts should have done it all but I fear the project isn't much alive... The font issues has never really been cleared up, except with downloadable ones... as far as I know. hope that helps. paul Le 9 sept. 04, à 18:04, Arthur Ryman a écrit : > > I am a member of the W3C Web Service Description WG and would like to > use some math symbols in our WSDL 2.0 spec (actually Z Notation to > formalize our spec).
