Why insert the font modifycation? I think LEGO&reg; renders fine.

It's too bad that the &reg; symbol in typical digital typefaces isn't small
and raised like the TM symbol typically is.  :-(  Ah well.

There isn't a (TM) symbol in Latin-1

p.s.  I never shrink or raise the &reg; symbol when it appears next to
"LEGO" inside of a hyperlink tag (<A>...</A>), otherwise the underlining
goes all goofy on me.  Fortunately, at least &#153; for TM still works great
without modification inside of <A>...</A>.

&#153; may work well on your browser, but it

1) is not legal HTML
2) does not work on DEC-Unix and Linux (haven't tested on other systems)


Play well,

(...) Because the &reg; symbol in typical typefaces (Times, etc.) on typical systems (Windoze, Mac, etc.) displays as a large, obnoxious O-sized symbol instead of a nice little raised o-sized symbol like TM (&#153;) does.
