Browser configuration

By default, H^EV^EA insert now standard font changes in its output, using the FACE=symbol attribute to the <FONT ...> tag. The symbol font is the one available on the Linux Red Hat distribution and seems to be present on many Unix installations. A good way to know whether your browser can show H^EV^EA symbols or not is comparing figure 1 and the web page located at symbol.html.

Microsoft Explorer displays the symbol font by default.

By default, Netscape Communicator does not display symbol fonts as intended by H^EV^EA. On an Unix system, the following procedure instructs Netscape Communicator to do so:

Add the following line to your .Xdefaults file:

Netscape*documentFonts.charset*adobe-fontspecific:   iso-8859-1

Issue a xrdb .Xdefaults command.
Restart Netscape.

On a Macintosh, choose Western (Mac Roman) in the item Document Encoding from the Preferences menu. This will work only if the document does not contain iso-latin1 characters above 127. That is, this will work only with documents that are generated by H^EV^EA with the -noiso option enabled (see section C.1.1.4).

More details on browser configuration can be found at http://www.tex2html.com/unix/. More details on symbol fonts can be found in section 3.2.2 of this manual. In particular, note that symbol fonts may be completely avoided with the -nosymb option.
