Is usp10.dll used by other browsers, i.e. Mozilla Firefox?

SBL Hebrew is rendering well on my Windows 2000, using IE6, Netscape 7.1,
and FireFox 0.8.

Recently, I viewed my files on a Windows XP laptop.  Mozilla FireFox was
displaying broken circles where the text was correctly rendered on my
machine.  The only difference I can think of is that the XP machine lacks
the current usp10.dll module, but I didn't think this module would be used
by a Mozilla browser.

Do other browsers use usp10.dll?

Chris, if you have the new usp10.dll you can copy it into FireFox or
almost any program's home folder (with the program not running - usually
the folder where the .exe is) and the program will pick up and use this
usp10.dll. It is also possible, but hard and not recommended by
Microsoft, to make the new usp10.dll your default system version. There
are some instructions for this at
