figurine chess fonts support

pgn4web has been updated to version 1.71; beside the usual bug fixing and fine tuning of features (notably to the board generator and to the live broadcast functionality), pgn4web is now able to display chess moves using figurine fonts, replacing the piece initials K, Q, R, B, N with the corresponding piece images; this works in most of the recent browsers: Internet Explorer 7+, Firefox 3.5+, Chrome, Safari 4+; older browser will still display the piece initials instead.

Look at the "Board widget" or the "TWIC765" sections of the demo site.

If you use the board generator facility then your chessboards have been already updated with figurine fonts for the chess moves.
