I think MS ARIAL UNICODE font has tons of fonts which cover a lot of character sets including special ones. Try using that font set..

Subject: How to handle special characters?
Hi,
I need to display in a pdf file some text that contains different type
of characters: some are ascii type but other are special ones like the
'star' or 'square' characters. I understand from what I have read that
those special characters are not available in the default Helvetica or
Courier base font and that I need to use the ZapfDingbats font.
So what I need to achieve is transform the following XML content:
"Some text ? More text"
Into:
<fo:inline font-family="Helvetica"> Some text <fo:inline
font-family="ZapfDingbats">?</fo:inline> More text </fo:inline>
How can this be done using XSL to create the proper FO document knowing
that I don't know in advance what the text to translate looks like and
how many 'special' characters it contains (ex 'asdf?as¡df?as£d??fasd?')
Thanks for any tips!
