[Possibly off-topic]: Flash movie using some glyphs from the Webdings font (from Re: On the possibility of encoding webdings in Unicode)
I have been experimenting and have produced a Flash movie that uses some glyphs from the Webdings font.
The movie was produced using the Opus Creator program, version 7.05.
I have a concern in that the HTML file that calls the .swf file has lots of uses of the word cookie in it. I do not know much about cookies and it is quite possible that it is all harmless and that it might be that they are not even used in this particular case as this movie is just a displayed sequence and not interactive: I just do not know.
However, as there has sometimes been adverse comments about cookies, I feel that I should mention the matter.
The only change that I have made to the HTML file, which was produced automatically by the Opus Creator 7.05 program at the same time as it produced the .swf file, is to change the extension of the file name from .html to .htm as that is the usual style in our family webspace, the only exception being the home page file, which is named index.html.
I have run the movie with no apparent problems, it seems to work fine.
Anyway, here is the link. The movie repeats itself indefinitely, each run taking about two minutes. Simply close the browser window to stop it please.

I hope that readers enjoy the movie.

Please note that the article references a .htm file. I have found that in practice that accessing the .swf file directly works well.
Here is a link to the .htm file so that it will become archived at the British Library.
At the time of writing this note on Thursday 5 February 2015 I have not traced the places from where all of the files were linked.
The High-Logic forum is a likely place from where many, maybe all, of them, are linked.
Here are links from this page so that they will hopefully become archived at the British Library.
There are 21 files.

Some people trying to enter Latvian text into an application which does not have an Insert Symbol facility or a keyboard shortcut facility might find the following pdf which I produced useful.
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/typecase_accented_characters_for_Latvian.pdf
One or more or all of the characters of the pdf may be copied onto the clipboard and then pasted into the application and then formatted using a font which contains glyphs for the accented characters needed for Latvian.
Indeed, copying and pasting all of the characters and trying to format them in a particular font may be useful to some readers as a test as to whether the font contains glyphs for the accented characters needed for Latvian.

The symbols are in the Quest text font.
The image is from an earlier experimental use of some of the symbols: it is included here just to give an indication of how the symbols are intended to be used.
