Anyone else running Ubuntu who can confirm that this doesn't work
using the dingbats font installed by Ghostscript?
Also doesn't work if you replace file:d050000l with name:dingbats
and yet:
$ mtxrun --script fonts --list --all --pattern=dingbat*
dingbats dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm
dingbatsnormal dingbats /usr/share/fonts/type1/gsfonts/d050000l.afm
