Re: [DejaVu-fonts] Replacement for Symbol and Wingdings

[H. C. G. <chr...@gm...>]

  Dear all,

in office we have sometimes to replace Symbol letters and Wingding 
letters into unicode letters for the internet.

It would be nice to have at least the diameter sign (Code for ? in 
Symbol-font:  dezimal: 0198 bzw. 61638).
I know, this is in reality the sign for empty space, and the real letter 
is "?" (Unicode of ?  is hexadezimal: 2300 und dezimal: 8960).
Both replacement letters can be done in DejaVu Sans,  but not in DejaVu 
Serif.

Would that be a good idea  to get at least one of these letters  in the 
next update of DejaVu Serif?


A full list for replacement of symbol can be fould in
http://unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/ADOBE/symbol.txt

There are some mistakes in it (the small phi letters are mixed up), but 
most of it is o.k.

For Wingdings-letters I have found no list.

Yours

Chris
