It seems as though mozilla/phoenix is not displaying it in a I quit supporting Netsacpe browsers (and all eventual follow-ups) more than 2 years ago, because their style sheet implementation and their rendering in general is *braindead*. The workarounds required to get one single version of Netscape Communicater to display the stuff *almost* correctly took more than 2k per strip and I had wasted more than one month trying to figure out how to support at least the most popular browsers with simple html+css (no javascript). Once I found out that the next version of Communicator required exactly the opposite (and besides equally stupid) approach than the previous one, I finally decided to stop supporting them _forever_(tm). IE, Opera and Konqueror should work fairly well (although newer versions of Opera may have trouble with older strips.

As I mentioned, my strip is done in extended ASCII and the character set of the documents is specified as described in the HTML recommendation. Any browser failing to render a character should normally try to find the best possible replacement, and obviously a one-to-several character replacement inside a PRE-tag with is a rather bad idea... Hope you still found a way to enjoy my strips! JW
