Would that be support out-of-the-box (ie with whatever fonts MathPlayer includes), or would it require extra fonts to be present? This would suggest that within the near future delivering plane-1 codepoints is likely to be more useful for the web than mathvariant. [It would seem to be more straightforward for Opera's CSS engine, although it doesn't yet completely support plane-1] A downside of plane-1 is that when it doesn't work you get red "?" or boxes, rather than a potentially misleading wrong letter --- so maybe it's an upside, after all? I wonder how readers will react... -- bruce.miller@nist.gov http://math.nist.gov/~BMiller/
