roadrunnertwiceOkay, so there exists a bug 212745, Mac OS X only, in which Gecko breaks the card suit symbols, most commonly the good ol' ♥. It's trivial, but I hate it.
It's assigned to Josh, who I know for a fact has far more important things to do, so it's not getting fixed anytime soon. However, the bugpage reveals a workaround: if you enclose said ♥ in a <tt> tag, like so (♥), it displays fine. This is precisely the type of ugly hack that Greasemonkey was designed for, so I decided to reinstall that thing and start poking at some user scripts. Should be easy, right?
An evening later, I'm stymied. Fuck javascript forever. Dive Into Greasemonkey was no help at all. Really, all I need is one good example script that finds all occurrences of a word and makes them italic or something, but it doesn't seem to fucking exist.
So I don't think anyone here even uses Greasemonkey, but if you do and you know where I can learn what I need to learn, please do let me know.
