None of the MS symbol fonts displays with recent fontconfig (2.11.93).
This is probably due to commit cbb6ee16 (Bug 35517 - Remove Apple Roman cmap
support). Although commit d6d5adeb (Fix symbol cmap handling) stated to have
fixed it, I cannot confirm. I can confirm, however, that version 2.8.0 works
fine.
I believe what's still 'not fixed'/'fixed' (depending on your stance) is
that these fonts do not map to the latin charset, so e. g. Pango would
always select other fonts for typical WingDings-using strings like "abc"
(or display squares if fallback is off). Meaning [1] more or less still
applies.
So the following works:
pango-view --markup --text='<span fallback="false"></span>'
--font='WingDings'
But this doesn't:
pango-view --markup --text='<span fallback="false">a</span>'
--font='WingDings'
However, using such fonts with FreeType (or even Xft) should really work:
ftview -m 'a' 12 wingding.ttf
