Can't believe I'm blowing a question on this: what lovecraftian two syllable unicode font mangling word, starting with a Z, was posted on this site a little while back?

Best answer: Bonus answer: here's the site where you make with the wacky. (I had been wondering how everyone was doing that, but was too chicken to ask. Turns out to be the 2nd link in the Zalgo post, which I had somehow overlooked. U̦̯͍̹̜̰͎͜͡N̵͏̸̪̤̲T̼̞̥͟I̯̭͈̤̜̰̝̗͡L̷̛͙͔͔̖͘ ̷̤̗̲͖̻N̛̫͓͔͇͎͚͈̻O̠̹̫͎̮͜Ẁ̛̝̼͙͔̙̭.)

Since the question is all taken care of: my home computer (with Vista) sees everything ok, but my work computer (with XP) doesn't work. I'm using FF3.5 on both, so I assume its a font issue; is there somewhere I can get the right fonts?

I got it working on my XP by installing a couple of odd unicode fonts which I found via googling unicode and the numbers in the little boxes in the untranslated 'Zalgo' messages... can't remember off-hand exactly what they were though (of course going this road looses 2d6 SAN. You have been warned)

I also take this as further evidence that Vista is a construct sent by the Old Ones.

I too was wondering how everybody was doing that. I figured it was doctorate-level HTML.
