Comments: I encourage everyone to try these experiments for themselves to see the results. For those who don't know how, or actually have lives and no time to play around with computer fonts, here's what the fuss is about:
Both the Webdings and Wingdings fonts, available in Microsoft Word and compatible programs, consist of small graphic icons in place of the standard letter set. If you convert a given block of text to either font, you end up with a string of simple pictures.
Wingdings have been around longer than Webdings, and indeed it was first observed nearly a decade ago that converting the letters "NYC" to Wingdings produces "interesting" results:
Some folks at the time not only saw a hidden message in this, they assumed right off that it must have been intentional. A 1992 article in the New York Post even proclaimed, in screaming headlines, "Millions of computers carry secret message that urges death to Jews in New York City!" Microsoft, which first bundled the font with the release of its Windows 3.1 software, vehemently denied the charges, answering that any so-called "secret messages" were purely coincidental and that allegations of anti-Semitism in particular were "outrageous" — which they were.
