I'm using Squiggle on Batik 1.7 for displaying SVG graphics an just wondering why some symbols are shown and others not where other SVG viewers show the expected symbol (e.g. Wingdings)

As I found out characters encoded as "native" Private Use Unicode characters (U+F020 ... U+F0FF) are rendered correctly by Squiggle the (same) symbols encoded in the "ANSI area" U+0020..U+00FF are substituted by the default font.

E.g.

<tspan style="font-family:'Wingdings 2';font-size:14px;">&#x00E0;</tspan> <tspan style="font-family:'Wingdings 2';font-size:14px;">&#xF0E0;</tspan>

The first shown character is an à the second is the desired asterisk.

When I load the same SVG into e.g. Visio both characters are are astersiks.

I'm not sure which is the correct represantation is correct, but afaik Windows (Office?) does transparantely map the lower symbol characters to the upper PU-Area.
