Ah yes. A little too quick on the cut-and-paste of the CSS there.

Looks much better. Now, I am seeing many more symbols and it definitely 
is using the STIX fonts. There are still a some code-point symbols that 
do not render, a lot of them at the bottom of the table. I see 
non-rendering code-points that use the STIXGeneral font, and 
newly-working code points that use that font, so I know it is not just a 
problem with the font resources being loaded. And I double-checked my CSS.

I wanted to ask the STIX project people about this stuff, but when I 
used the form on their web page to send a message, I got a bounce. The 
addressee does not exist. O well.

So, looking much better.

thanx - ray
