Does this work right? Check screen *and print* renderings. They are not, in general, identical.

Firefox renders it correctly on screen, but in Print Preview, the cursive line is just a dot. Others have had similar and varied results.

Especially interested in results from other browsers and OS's, i.e. Netscape, Chrome, Safari, Linux, Mac, etc.

Firefox 3.0.4 on Linux: No. Netscape 4.7.2 on Linux: Still ROTMLMAO (of course not). Opera 7.11 on Linux: No Lynx on Linux: (just kidding).

The problem may be that I don't have the 'Script, cursive' font installed on my systems.

Old Firefox 1.0 (yes, I know it's old) under Linux renders script as monospace "typewriter" font. Print view renders it as bold sans-serif.

Dillo under Linux renders both lines the same in its native sans, No print facility.

The browser in Star Office 5 under Linux renders the script font as cursive, and prints it correctly.
