That's great news - it sucks to have to have this in ooo-build; I'd love to
remove it from our build.

Nice.

Well - what ours fixes [ and I did much of the historic work here ] is big
chunks of wingdings, webdings etc. that are missing equivalents in the positions
specified in vcl's font mapping tables. ie. before we added glyphs at these
locations we simply got '[]' (square box missing-glyph symbols) :-)

Some good examples would be the 2 bullet tests at:

http://go-oo.org/ooo-build/test/draw/

of course - a better way is to use =char(A1) in a spreadsheet & map out the
columns for the various fonts. I did that in the past but can't find the test
sheet for some reason.

Wrt. breaking Win32 functionality - I guess that's unlikely AFAICS there is no
code that checks whether a glyph is available in opens___.ttf and if not falls
back to something more useful - but I may be mistaken.

And of course Win32 machines all have the fonts - so the effects are seen mostly
only on Linux machines.

HTH.
