I am interested in your statistics on browsers. A possible explanation of part of the preference for Netscape is the inability of IE4 (or 4.5) on a Mac to recognise the font symbol. For much of my nomenclature work I have to Greek letters and no longer use graphics files to creat the letters.
From my monitoring of the use of one document where the graphics approach is offered as an alternative fewer and fewer users use the graphics approach. I cannot distinguish between those upgrading old browsers from those switching to Netscape.
