I found that I could display symbols with varying degree of success. In a standard stripped down html file I had success with both firefox and ie. However, within the context of a wordpress blog post, I could display the symbols properly in ie, but not firefox.
This simple html works for works.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<p><font face=”Symbol”>p</font></p>
<p><font face=”Symbol”>f</font></p>
<p>&phi</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>
However, if you embed the following symbols in a wordpress post, it will work in ie, but not firefox. I prefer firefox however. Any suggestions as what to do?
<p><font face=”Symbol”>p</font></p>
<p><font face=”Symbol”>f</font></p>
<p>&phi</p>
