| I wanted to see myself :-) Thanks for the pointers. 

You're welcome. Note that it also works in MSIE. 

| Sorry if I offended you.

Don't worry. If you had it would have been very clear. :-)

That's how I would interpret it, given the knowledge that Windows 2000
can indeed do this. I'm don't know much about Windows internals, but
as far as I know it's actually Uniscribe that does this, so the
Windows version in use may not even matter as long as you have the
right Uniscribe version.
