Why is it that when NYC is typed in Microsoft Word '97 in courier font , you get NYC. But if you change the font of those letters to Webdings, you get icons meaning I love NY, if you then change the font to wingdings, you see icons of Skull and cross bones, Star of David, and a thumbs up ...why is this so? Why are there so many more MiddleEastern fonts available than other non English languages? This is an old problem ...I'd like to know if our Intelligence Community has looked in to it yet??

There are a lot less people who use modern Hebrew than use any of the other Middle-eastern languages, ie, Arabic, etc.
I blame Bush!
Why is it when you switch to Mini Pics Borderline (US states), you get Idaho, Minneapolis, and Alaska? It just doesn't seem fair.
I'm completely serious. Can't say more. Being watched.
There are also a wide variety of fonts for semitic languages. They've been around awhile ~ like since the invention of alphabets.
