I have sent the above.  However there has been nothing replied.
So I am changing the inquiry.

In the help of wxt terminal,
*************
Alternatively, the OpenSymbol font, distributed with OpenOffice.org as "opens___.ttf", 
offers the same characters. Microsoft has distributed a Symbol font ("symbol.ttf"), 
but it has a different character set with several missing or moved mathematic characters. 
If you experience problems with your default setup 
(if the demo enhancedtext.dem is not displayed properly for example), 
you probably have to install one of the Adobe or OpenOffice Symbol fonts, 
and remove the Microsoft one. Other non-conform fonts, 
such as "wingdings" have been observed working. 
****************

I have tried to use the OpenSymbol font (opens___.ttf) in OpenOffice 2.1 in png enhanced terminal.
But I found it was difficult for me.

OpenSymbol uses unicode.  How should I indicate the code? Like {/opens___ \1234...} in octal code?

OTOH, is there a free symbol ttf font or a free symbol pfa font?  I googled but I have been not able
to find it.
Does anyone know that?

If the png terminal can treat the pfb font, "SY______.PFB". font might be used?
