[Bug 1195785] Re: broken webdings font symbols

[Isaque Alves]

Workaround: Try to change the font encoding with Fontforge... For me, with some fonts, like marvosym, this works.
Font Forge > Open Font > Encoding > Set Encoding > Windows ANSI or ISO-8859-1. 
Later, you can go File > Generate Fonts  and overwrite it.

Title:
  broken webdings font symbols

Status in “msttcorefonts” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Get the same issue on both Raring & Saucy i386 installations:

  - first i've discovered the issue using wine1.5/1.6 where i need some wingdings symbols, but get only rectangles
  - outside of wine, the same issue also exist inside ubuntu installation : /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts : webdings.ttf is displaying only rectangles instead of the symbols when clicking on it for viewing.
  - installing  ttf-liberation (fake package) does not solve that issue.

  So that mscorefonts installer seems buggy. Of course, ubuntu-
  restricted-extras is installed.
