RE: web-safe fonts & characters 2014

["Sweet, Gregory (HEALTH)" <gregory -dot- sweet -at- health -dot- ny -dot- gov>]

Which brings you full circle back to using @font-face in your css to ensure you have all the characters you want.

Then there is this, though admittedly I have no idea if it will carry through to your web help: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.tngtech.confluence.plugin.fonts


Thanks,

Greg
