Hi Paddy Webdings is a M$ font, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webdings and is not Unicode.
If you use Unicode characters, e.g. U+2708 for an aeroplane (✈) it should render consistently, substituting a character from a font that has it if the current font does not (if you have a suitable font installed).

I am wondering if Libre Office has a separate set of fonts from the operating system, or at least some of the fonts. I'll explain my problem. If I have a look at Character Map to find a character that I want (let's say it is an aeroplane), I can find it in the Webdings font (Unicode 00d2, or Ò). See screenshot 1: <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4039236/Character_Map.png> But when I use that character in Libre Office and set the font to Webdings, it shows a different character, specifically an in-box. See screenshot 2: <http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n4039236/Libre_Office_characters.png> Note that not all characters do this. For example, the first 52 characters (A-Z and a-z) are correct. I would like to know how to solve this discrepancy, so that I can search for characters in Character Map (or an equivalent program) and then use them in Libre Office. (I have tried an alternative program, Specimen Font Viewer, and it shows the same thing as Character Map.) I am using Linux Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit, fully updated) with Libre Office 4.0.0.3 (installed directly from the Libre Office website). Thank you. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Does-Libre-Office-have-its-own-distinct-set-of-fonts-tp4039236.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
