Easiest way to support figurine notation is to embed truetype fonts in the
web pages using CSS3. pgn4web should work nicely with that.
See http://www.kirsle.net/wizards/ttf2eot.cgi
Unfortunately there is no free chess figurine font available; once
available it would be nice to add the .ttf and the .eot files to the
pgn4web package with instructions.
Note the issue with comments/variations where the chess notation would not
easily formatted with figurine notation, so beware.

Please note this works only with browsers supporting CSS3 embedded fonts (Firefox
3.5+, Safari 4+) or with Internet Explorer 7+.
Other browsers will fall back to another font definition, so please make sure your
css styles specifies an alternative standard font-family.
Please note this requires your PGN to use English initials for the chess pieces
(initials in other languages would not be parsed correctly anyway).

Added further support with .svg and .woff font formats.
Google Chrome is using .svg
Firefox 3.6+ is using .woff (more bandwidth efficient than .ttf)
These add to the basic .ttf files and to the .eot files (.eot is supported by Internet
Explorer).
