Button Images
I'm against using images for the buttons. If the font size and the button size are incompatible, it looks ugly. Even if you get it right in the default style, users may want to increase the font size and then it looks ugly again. It's also non-machine readable.
Unicode has glyphs which can be used for many of the buttons. We can even add colors, shading, and borders using CSS.

That yellow one looks better with a yellow background, even if it's not completely inside the circle.
D-Pad controls:
- ▶▼◀▲
Black & White:
- ◉◎
Triggers and Bumpers:
- RT LB
All of these will scale with the page's font size.
A possible objection is that <span style="background-color: rgb(255,255,0); font-weight: bold; font-size: larger;">Ⓨ</span> is a pain to type. But that's what templates are for. Sympleko 05:06, 5 July 2006 (PDT)
