You Can, But You'd Better Know What You're Doing.

Without getting too technical, the rendering engines in Mozilla/Netscape 7.1 are completely different than in Internet Explorer. This means nothing to the average web user, but it's a good thing for anyone who does web development.

You can make the change, but if you don't know anything about editing preference files, you'd probably be better off just turning signatures on GC.

Here's the fix:

Fixing Netscape 6+ and Mozilla to access symbol font
I am very grateful to Ian Hutchinson for providing the following fix. (NOTE: This fix applies ONLY to version 6 and later of Netscape Navigator, and to Mozilla. In particular, it is not needed on versions of Netscape Navigator up to 4.)

In the file

fontEncoding.properties

(which is located in the directory

\Program Files\Netscape\Netscape\res\fonts

under the default installation of Netscape 7.0, and in

\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla\res\fonts

under the default installation of Mozilla 1.0), change the line

encoding.symbol.ttf = Adobe-Symbol-Encoding

to

encoding.symbol.ttf = windows-1252
