    Nice idea , but it only works if you have the font installed from the same source or with a commune source .

    It would be better if Darren included in CSS , but that would require work on the file every time they update the soft .

      I'm sure it will eventually be replaced by ??? characters like whenever anyone uses letters with accents or long dashes.

        Writing in Ancient will only work with the proper fonts installed. You don't even need to do anything special like character map, just type use the font BB code and it will do it for you. Only problem is, there are several Ancient fonts and you'd need to have them all to make sure you can see messages.

        Depending on browsers and fonts, you may not see the text, see ????? or even weird looking squares.
