It looks like [1] specifies 'Lucida Grande' in the CSS.

That second one is oddly broken (FF on Win7). I see the fallback image http://unicodelovehotel.com/unicodelovehotel.jpg http://unicodelovehotel.com/unicodelovehotel.jpg but when I select it, I get a bed with a heart over it. 🏩 I believe that's Verdana in my browser. 🏩 <--

  Unicodelovehotel.com was on hacker news a while back. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3837359 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3837359 Check out the source to see all the fallbacks I implemented to make at least something show up in most browsers/platforms.

Symbola seems to have a number of emoji people are using. http://www.fontineed.com/font/35288_symbola http://www.fontineed.com/font/35288_symbola http://www.4shared.com/file/xh0VBvUg/Symbola.html http://www.4shared.com/file/xh0VBvUg/Symbola.html

  I installed symbola months ago but nothing uses it. Do I have to edit the registry entries related to font fallbacks? What have I failed to do?

    It's probably been more than five years since I've installed a font under Windows, so I'll just hope MSFT's own tutorial answers your question: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/truetypeinstall.mspx http://www.microsoft.com/typography/truetypeinstall.mspx

    The old one didn't have these symbols. When I installed it on debian linux (called: ttf-ancient-fonts - but you have to use the testing repository) it was used immediately.

      Well I remember testing it on love hotel, which I specifically checked was in symbola if I set the font manually. But it wouldn't render if it was embedded in normal text.

  The main site for symbola is here: http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/

    That site seemed to be down when I posted.
