Technically speaking, BitcoinTalk is using a "webfont" for this, not a regular image.

You're asking to install custom font, just to have currency symbol properly displayed in a spreadsheet or email. How many people are going to do that? Think about it. The web is easier as this only has to be done once per site, but that's one extra uneccesary step. We should make life easier, not harder.

and not being displayed properly on my unicode friendly win7 machine, despite 64bit processor and 8gb of ram.

Obviously not very Unicode-friendly, if it can't display Unicode.

Point is, it doesn't work for majority of users here with modern computers and modern, very popular, operating systems who also happen to have technical skills way above the average. If it doesn't work for us, it won't work for general population, period.
