My problem is that I want to use these fonts with pango. If I try to use pango-view --font="webdings" /etc/passwd on the fc14 box all is well. On the fc17 box it drops back to arial and in my application which produces PDFs it produces a little sqiggle. Is it possible to use these fonts using pango with the latest stack?
