Windows/Vista. Though we have had limitedopportunities to test our pages on Vista machines, the best resultsare obtained when using Firefox as the browser using its default font. We've had reports that Internet Explorer may lack certain special Unicode characters that we use. If you can't install Firefox, then try: Start → Settings → Control Panel; switch to the Classic View of the Control Panel; select Regional and Language → Languages and then check both “Install files for complex script” and “Install files for East Asian languages”. Then Restart your computer so the new fonts will get loaded.
Mac OS X/Leopard (10.5). The versions of Safari,Firefox, Camino, Mozilla, and OmniWeb that run under Mac OS X 10.5have all been tested successfully. However, for the best results, youshould set the font to Times or Lucida Grande, since these fonts seemsto have the widest support for Unicode characters in Mac OS X. We'vealso tested Opera with pretty good success. See also Alan Wood'sUnicode Resources: Unicode fonts for Macintosh OS X computers.
Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, and other Unix OSes
Firefox, Chrome, and Opera all provide reasonably good support forthe special characters used in SEP entries, assuming you use thedefault font. However, we haven't test our pages with these systemsas widely as we have the Windows and Mac platforms. So we cannotsupply more specific information about what works best, i.e., whatbrowser/font combination supports the widest range of Unicodecharacters.
Microsoft Windows XP, NT, 2000, ME, and 98![]()
Firefoxgives the best results. If you are using IE 7 under Windows XP, or IE6 under Windows XP, 2000, ME or 98, try setting your font to LucidaSans Unicode, Arial, Times, Times New Roman or Courier New fonts, allof which are supposed to support the Unicode named character entitieswe use in our documents. It is important to remember that not all ofthese fonts will support all the Unicode characters, so you may needto try different fonts for entries which have obscure characters.
Some things to do if special characters aren't displayed:
We should also note the following for Windows XP users. Our pages,and all other web pages, will look better if you set the following:Control Panel → Display → Appearance → Effects →Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts →ClearType.
Apple Mac OS X/Tiger (Panther, etc.)
Mac OS X Tiger (Panther, etc.). Safari and Firefox work well. For Safari, set the font to either Time Romanor Lucida Grande. For Firefox, use the default font.
A Note About the Special Characters in our Entries
We have tried to format our entries in XHTML so that they displayproperly in a wide range of web browsers. We have developed a webpage of special characters which display correctly in a varietyof current browsers. See
Widely Supported HTML 4 and Unicode Characters Get Tube For Mac Os X 10.6 8 Mac Os X 10 6 8 To El Capitan
But many of our entries use special symbols, such as logical,mathematical, and other symbols, which are not widely supported. Hereis a list of such symbols:
Special Symbols Not Widely Supported
In the past, we used many more of the 'low-resolution' screen shotsof these characters and displayed the resulting graphics in the entryas small images, as we have done on the page cited immediately above.But, recently, after being convinced that there was wide support forUnicode characters among web browsers and operating systems, westarting replacing the low-resolution graphics with widely supportedfont-based Unicode characters. We are slowly but surely making all ofour older entries compatible with the newer XHTML standard in theprocess. Indeed, we have now configured our publishing system so thatour entries must parse as valid XHTML (i.e., be in compliance with theinternational standards set by the authoritative W3C organization) before they are published on the web. (We determine validity bysending our entries, pre-publication, to <http://validator.w3.org/> and fixing any errors reported when this engine tries to determinewhether our documents are valid.)
Invariably, our best intentions are sometimes defeated by thetechnologies involved. If your browser is not properly displaying thenamed character entities in an entry (e.g., logical symbols,mathematical symbols, etc.), then we hope the above suggestions proveuseful.
